- This lake is right on my doorstep and I have flown over it before with some bewilderment at the complexity of its shores, so I decided to find out about the Clea Lakes and “crannogs” in Ireland.
Prof. Aidan O'Sullivan of UCD put it very well when he asked the following, “What - in the name of all that is good and holy - are they doing? What are they doing out on an island there? Why are they doing this? I still, in a sense, don’t really fully understand it. They were metres from dry land! They were literally a stone’s throw from the drumlin. They could have inhabited perfectly nice stable dry surface which didn’t require them to be continually building up the material around them and to be sinking up to their knees in the mud and the muck and the dirt… Why did they do this? Why did they go to such work?... I don’t know.”
For more information on the history of Clea Lakes and crannogs see what I found below.

I was born and raised on this lake. A real Swallows and Amazons childhood. In 66/67 you could skate across the whole lake. Sailing boats, home made rafts and great swimming. Our place was sold in the mid 70’s
Another nice one Mark
Good lake!
Wonderfull place
hey i love your videos, do you mind me asking what song is playing in the background?
Info in the description. Thanks for watching.
I think this is the Ancestral home of the rigdamani named MacDuiinsliehbi of the DalFiatach. This family ruled Uladia for the last 600 years before the Normans invaded!
They were a Irish medical family. This would have been lake fortress/home to hundreds of people a very large family of great wealth . A garden paradise of highest nobility designed to serve a very learned Tuatha
