What is recorded here

That is the story of the causeway at Tullaghbeg. It stretches across the middle of Fin Lough, leading to an island nobody can reach. A Late Bronze Age lakeside settlement lies along the southern shore, waiting for the water to reveal its shape. The causeway still points at the hidden place, preserving the memory of a lost route.
Situated at the centre of Fin Lough lake with a recently exacavated Late Bronze Age lakeside settlement (6:75) along the shoreline to the S. Island not accessible. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Offaly' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1997). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 May 2011
