Hello,

approved that means that the subject has been discussed,
that people have spent time on it, that there has been
an opportunity to detect problems, to propose improvements
it's quite different from an "in use", because a guy invented

Unfortunately discussion and "voting" by people who have only the vaguest idea of what the thing being voted on is adds no value*. There is a place on the "B Ark" for them...

The fact that there was only one comment during the fortnight of discussion means that people really don't know (or don't care) what these are, and people who do know and care (such as the proposer) should probably "just map these".  Whether that's via https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/defensive_settlement=crannog (which is slightly ahead in taginfo) or https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/settlement_type=crannog matters little; there are few of them in OSM right now, and the word "crannog" is characteristic enough, that they can fairly easily be remapped into some "better" archaeological scheme at some later stage.

What matters is getting them mapped, and getting from the 10s currently in OSM to the 1500 or so that apparently do or did exist**.

Best Regards,

Andy

** According to wikipedia.  I was surprised that there were apparently as many as 1200 in Ireland.
