• LE035-011 Crannog
  Description

  Attached at low water by a muddy causeway to the W shore of Lough Rinn (dims c. 3.8 km N-S; c. 200-400m E-W) close to its N end. This is an overgrown, circular, stony area (diam. 20m; H 1.5m) surrounded along the water's edge at N and E by collapsed timber stakes placed c. 1m apart. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008

• LE035-024 Crannog
  Description

  Located in the centre of Lough Rinn (dims c. 3.8km N-S; c. 200-400m E-W). A small island is depicted on an estate map (Wogan 1750, 23), and it is also depicted (diam. c. 20m) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map where it is described as ‘Maw Island’. Kane (1885-6, 408) lists this island as one of the crannogs of Lough Rinn. This feature has disappeared and cannot be identified from the surface, but its base might still survive.

• LE035-041 Crannog
  Description

  Located c. 70m from the W shore of Lough Rinn (dims c. 3.8km N-S; c. 200-400m E-W) close to its N end. This is an overgrown oval island (dims 15m N-S; 11m E-W; H 1.15m) surrounded by a band (Wth 3-4m) of timber stakes and planks lying intertwined along the water's edge. This is most clearly visible at NE and E. The centre of the island has been augmented with stone, while a crude stone pier can be seen under the water at E. A programme of radiocarbon dating undertaken by the Discovery Programme produced a date of 985 +- 30 BP (AD 990-1154) from wood taken from the crannog (O’Conor and Fredengren 2019, 91). The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003).
