Green Island crannog is a partially submerged artificial island dwelling situated in Drumgay Lough, County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The site dates to the early Christian period and represents a form of lakeside settlement characteristic of Irish and British archaeology from the early medieval centuries. Crannogs of this period typically served as defended homesteads or nodes of local power, constructed by piling timber and stones into shallow water to create an island settlement. The physical remains at Green Island comprise archaeological deposits visible as a raised platform within the lough, though the organic remains preserved in waterlogged conditions have provided valuable evidence for understanding early Christian settlement patterns and material culture in Ulster.
