Island is a possible Early Christian crannog situated in Ballymoney, County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Crannogs of this period typically comprised artificial or semi-artificial islands constructed in freshwater lakes or boggy ground, serving as defensive homesteads or monastic settlements during the Early Christian period. The designation of this site as a possible rather than confirmed crannog reflects the archaeological uncertainty regarding its precise nature and construction, though its Early Christian dating suggests occupation during the period from roughly the fifth to twelfth centuries when such structures were prevalent in Ireland. The site's location within the Ballymoney area places it within a region of known Early Christian settlement and archaeological interest.
