Doogary Lough is a possible Early Christian crannog located in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The site, recorded in the Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record under MonID 5568, represents the archaeological evidence for artificial or semi-artificial island settlement characteristic of early medieval Irish settlement patterns. Crannogs of this period typically served as defended domestic and sometimes ecclesiastical settlements, constructed either on natural islands or artificial platforms within lakes and marshes. The Early Christian dating places this potential crannog within the period from approximately the fifth to twelfth centuries, when such structures were a widespread feature of the Irish archaeological landscape.
