Carrick Lough Crannog is an early Christian artificial island dwelling located in Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The site consists of a crannog, a type of prehistoric and early medieval fortified settlement constructed on or within a lough, which in this case dates to the early Christian period. Such structures typically comprised timber-built circular houses set on artificial islands or peninsulas, serving as defended residences for élite families or monastic communities. The crannog at Carrick Lough represents an important example of early medieval settlement strategy in Ulster, demonstrating the continued use of lough-based defences during the Christian period in Ireland.
