## Designated sites (National Parks and Wildlife Service)

- Proposed Natural Heritage Area: Mullaglassan Lough, site code 001837

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

- MO008-022: Crannog, https://heritagedata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=0c9eb9575b544081b0d296436d8f60f8&query=18a4b61b268-layer-9%2CSMRS%2CMO008-022----. Mullaghglassan Lough is a triangular lake (dims c. 260m NW-SE; c. 130m NE-SW) with the apex at the SE. During 1983 the level of the lake was lowered by c. 1.2-1.4m and the crannog came to light. It was a circular cairn (diam. 14m; H 0.7m), but no structural features were evident. The top surface was eroded and the natural shoal on which it was built was apparent. The crannog has remained visible ever since. A large part of the skeleton of a Giant Irish Deer was recovered from the lake at the same time. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Monaghan' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1986). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of revision: 30 August 2017

Works at or in relation to a recorded monument need two months' written notice to the National Monuments Service (National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994, section 12).

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.
