This site looks like a superb example of its type. I didn't get very close to it, but I was able to see it from the hills to the south on the way to Cloghafadd (County Antrim). It looks in very good condition with very well defined stone edges. I will take a closer look the next time I am in the area.

One of the best places to see this excellent example of a crannog is from the road to the south near to Tervillin (County Antrim). From here you can clearly see the wonderful stone work that forms the crannogs edges and that has kept it in such good shape. I'm quite taken with this site - I'd love to be able to actually go out to it one day.
