Recorded monuments

• CV020-074 Crannog
  Description

  Situated in marshy ground in Lough Atrain, c. 15m from the shoreline. Davies (1942, 19) described the site as a roughly circular mound (diam. c. 29m) of sterile puddled clay, resting on a raft of branches which comprised logs running radially, with a set of cross­ wise logs superimposed on the radial members. The pressure of the peat had caused the radial logs to become tilted upwards.
