What is recorded here

In a wet meadow, on the N shore of Emlagh townland on the E side of Lough Gara and c. 93m E of another possible crannog (SL047-018002-). Only the vague outline of an irregular stone platform (6m N-S; 4m E-W; H 0.4m) with sloping sides is evident. The stones are well set in the ground but overgrown with grass and moss. It is one of a group of six possible crannogs (SL047-016----; SL047-018001-; SL047-018002-; SL047-018004-; SL047-018006-) and three crannogs (SL047-015----; SL047-017----; SL047-018005-) in this bay. (Cross 1953, fig. 1; Fredengren 2002, KILA 005) 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).
