Craggaunowen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Craggaunowen is an archaeological open air museum in Ireland that shows what an early medieval or medieval crannog (5.-12th Century AD) might have looked like. It is located 10 km east of Quin, County Clare, adjacent to 16th century Craggaunowen Castle, a fortified towerhouse that now contains a museum. The name derives from its Irish name Creagán Eoghain.

Loch Tay in Scotland also possesses a reconstruction of a crannog.
