What is recorded here
Attached to the W shore of a small silted lake (dims c. 70m N-S; c. 55m E-W), although the lake is represented as only slightly larger (dims c. 120m N-S; c. 60m E-W) on the 1835 edition of the OS 6-inch map. The crannog is indicated as a small island on the 1835 and 1907 editions of the OS 6-inch map. It is now a small wooded area (diam. c. 20m) that does not rise visibly, and with no visible surface evidence of artificial construction.
