What is recorded here

Connected to the W shore of Templevanny Lough by an area of boggy, wet grassland. A roughly circular low-mound crannog (24.4m N-S; 23.4m E-W; H 1.47m above the lake-bed). The centre consists of a rounded elevation (18m N-S; 18m E-W; H 0.84m) that slopes gently from its central point, but drops abruptly at the edges. The elevation is surrounded by a peaty berm with an even surface. The crannog is overgrown with grass and surrounded by reeds. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Sligo' compiled by Ursula Egan, Elizabeth Byrne, Mary Sleeman with Sheila Ronan and Connie Murphy (Dublin Stationery Office, 2005).
