Maguire crannog is a prehistoric artificial island settlement located in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. The site represents the Early Christian period occupation of a crannog, a dwelling type constructed on or near water that was particularly prevalent in Ireland and Scotland during the early medieval centuries. The monument consists of the remains of this lacustrine settlement, which would have originally comprised timber structures built upon a foundation of stone and wood within a water body. Such crannogs served as both domestic residences and defensible settlements, and their waterlogged conditions have occasionally preserved organic archaeological remains that provide significant evidence for early medieval life, material culture, and environmental history in Ulster.
