The Drumclay Crannog, which is an artificial island built in a lake, is the first of its type to be excavated in the north of Ireland since 1870.
Archaeologists believe people may have lived there from 600 AD to 1600 AD

Cherrymount link road, Enniskillen
It will be going over the site of the Drumclay Crannog. Alex Attwood MLA the Environment Minister and has taken a keen interest in the project and has placed a temporary exclusion zone on the area to facilitate the dig, which is due to finish at the end of December.
The team is to be commended for the conditions that they are working in as I was only there for a short time for the conducted tour and was freezing in the cold.

Site of the Drumclay Crannog, Enniskillen
This site contained between 10 or more small wattle dwellings, occupied at various stages. Strange to think that this area was once surrounded by water and people could live there, but conditions would have been basic. Some of the general public visiting the site brought their Wellies, but it was deemed too hazardous to go down into the dig. Occasional flooding and vandalism has been a problem at times. The plan is to go down to a depth of five metres and the archaeologists have two more to go.

Display of artefacts, Drumclay Crannog (1)
Some of the items on display that were excavated from the site, they include leather, crockery, bones, stone, wooden and metal objects. They cannot be exposed too long to the air as they were preserved in the ground up to the present.
The reason that most of these items were readily found was that either they were lost or more likely they were broken and thrown away on the edge of the site.

This item, made from wood is some sort of mallet. A suggestion was that it could have been used to cull a pig.
