Green Island is a crannog situated in Derry, Northern Ireland, representing a form of artificial island settlement characteristic of early Christian and medieval periods in Ireland. The site occupies a wet environment where a constructed platform or timber structure would have provided a defended domestic space, a settlement type particularly prevalent in the early Christian period. As documented in the Northern Ireland Sites and Monuments Record, Green Island represents the archaeological remains of this distinctive settlement tradition, though like many crannogs the precise dating and extent of occupation require further investigation to establish the full chronology of use at this specific location.
