E.CHRIST. Crannog in Dungannon, County Tyrone, is a prehistoric artificial island settlement of Iron Age date. Crannogs were constructed by building timber-framed structures upon artificially created or modified islands within lakes or wetland areas, serving as defensive settlements and providing protection from raids and natural hazards. This example represents an important class of archaeological monument widespread throughout Ireland and Scotland during the late prehistoric period. The site preserves evidence of early settlement patterns and construction techniques characteristic of Iron Age communities in Ulster.
