_Lough Faughan, or Falcon_, in the barony of Lecale.--About the year 1845 a crannog was discovered in this lake. “There were large stakes driven into the ground, completely enclosing the space within, and not rising above the surface as a palisade, but evidently for the purpose of keeping in the soil from encroachment of the water. The tradition respecting it is, that there had been a castle on the shore opposite, the chieftain of which caused this island to be made as a place of refuge from the sudden onslaughts of the O’Neils; and to render this retreat more secure he would never allow more than one boat or canoe on the lake.” During drainage operations a “dug-out” of oak was found near this crannog, from which locality were also procured two earthen pitchers (_ante_, p. 92, fig. 66). _Ballywoolen._--This crannog was entire when seen in 1860, in a lake surrounded by hills, the surface of the island nearly level with the water. At one spot there was a flagging of flat stones where the hearth had been, and near it lay a quern.[197] The discoverer states the site of this crannog to be in the county Down; but the only townland in Ireland named Ballywoolen, is set down in the Ordnance Survey as situated in the parish of Dunboe, barony of Coleraine, county Derry. COUNTY ARMAGH. _Camlough_ has a crannog at its north end. _Marlacoo Lough_, near Armagh, has another. _Lough Ross_, near Crossmaglen, also contains one, stated to have been the place of meeting of the Irish leaders in 1641.[198] COUNTY TYRONE. During the working of the Commission for the Arterial Drainage of Ireland, a crannog was discovered in this county, but its exact locality was not defined. _Corcreevy_ (alias _Loch-Laoghaire_), by which latter name it is mentioned in the _Annals_ (_ante_, pp. 155-6).--The site was examined and the following articles brought to light: a pair of bronze and iron manacles; a double comb of bone in a perfect state, length 3 inches, and breadth 2⅜ inches, and having a brass ring attached to one extremity--it is now in the Museum, R.I.A.; parts of a musical instrument; an arrow-head; a spear-head; a sling, or hammer-stone.[199] _Cranny_ townland in this county possibly derives its name from having been the former site of a lake dwelling.
