The Lake Dwellings of Ireland / Or ancient lacustrine habitations of Erin, commonly called crannogs.

The book surveys ancient lacustrine habitations in Ireland, examining their construction, sites, and archaeological finds. It explains crannog building techniques, materials, and associated artifacts spanning stone, bronze, and iron technology; documents domestic implements, tools, clothing fragments, ornaments, musical instruments, and boats; compares Irish water-settlements with continental examples; and compiles historical references and regional inventories. Detailed illustrations, excavation descriptions, and provincial catalogues accompany discussion of preservation, interpretation challenges, and the social and economic life suggested by the material remains.
