Brian who was the last High King of all Ireland met his untimely death in the battle of Clontarf in 1014 but not before his army had banished the Vikings out of Ireland Ancient History Evidence of much earlier habitation is confirmed by the presence of a Crannog Lake Dwelling in the middle of Castle Lake This is a manmade mound of rocks in the lake built by the Celts Such lake dwellings were common in Ireland in the 5th to 12th centuries AD Settlements of this kind may however have been used as early as the late bronze age and in some cases were still occupied up to the seventeenth century Crannogs were artificial islands on which people built houses kept animals and lived in relative security The name Crannog is taken from the Irish word crann which means tree As the name suggests timber was the most important building material They were usually built about 100 meters from the shore of a shallow lake The island was constructed by laying layers of brushwood and other material such as stones on the lake until eventually the island was formed In the central area houses of a wooden construction were built Access to the Crannog was originally by underwater stepping stones later by boat but when times became more settled causeways or bridges were used The Craggaunowen Project 4 miles from Mount Cashel recreates aspects of Irelands past with the restoration and reconstructions of earlier forms of dwelling houses farmsteads hunting sites and early Christian eras This includes a reconstructed Crannog and Ringfort
