Summary
| Description |
English: Crannóg construction, Castle Espie. A replica crannóg under construction at Castle Espie 1491908 near Comber. Dating from prehistoric or medieval times, crannógs are artificial islands constructed in lakes or rivers. They were most commonly used as settlements or dwellings - the surrounding water made it difficult for intruders to attack. They were most common in Ireland, particularly parts of Ulster, and also in Scotland.
This Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust centre http://www.wwt.org.uk/gallery/118/visit/castleespie/.html is situated on the site of a Victorian brick and pottery factory on the shores of Strangford Lough. See 8109242 for some related images. |
