• CV015-038 Crannog
  Description

  Small triangular-shaped island (c. 28m ENE-WSW; c. 22m NW-SE) in shallow water, in Derrybrick Lough, c. 35m from the shoreline. Davies (NMI Survey 1941) recorded the foundations of a small roughly circular hut consisting of loose rough stones one course high, which apparently had a small rough porch, on the inshore point of the island. Within the hut he found (Davies 1942, 16) a bronze axe with low hammered flanges and a cross-inscribed slab which he speculated may have been taken from Drumlane c. 500m to WNW (CV014-028----). Stakes were also observed between the island and the mainland. 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
