The National Monuments Service's description
In Lake Loughanamona. This possible crannog became visible in the lake in the 1960’s following drainage works. It was visited at the time and timbers were noted (NMI Correspondence Files, 1969; SMR file). it is evident now as an irregular shaped island (max. dim. 30-35m) is in the NW sector of the lake.
