## Recorded monuments (Sites and Monuments Record, National Monuments Service)

- CV028-047: Crannog, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CCV028-047----. In Drumkerry Lough. Wood-Martin (1886, 200-1) recorded how the lowering of the water-levels in the lake in 1863 had converted an oval-shaped island (dims. c. 40m N-S; c. 25m E-W), situated close to the SE shore of the lake, into a peninsula. The island was enclosed by a stockade of birch and oak piles. A layer of gravelly clay and large stones added height to the summit. At N burnt bones and charcoal, which Wood-Martin interpreted as a kitchen midden, were discovered. The entrance to the crannóg was apparently at S with a landing-place identified at NE. He also noted a dugout canoe shaped from an oak trunk embedded in the bottom of the lake, close to a second landing-place. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Cavan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1995). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload/revision: 22 December 2008

Everytownland reads the registered freehold land and the statutory boundaries of Tailte Éireann, the national zoning, planning file and heritage records of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, and the Residential Property Price Register. A parcel is the land of a title, not an address. The owner's name is in the Land Registry of Tailte Éireann: a copy of the folio can be ordered on landdirect.ie, for a fee; this site names no owner. A price is the price recorded for a past sale, not a valuation.
