What is recorded here

This crannog is shown on the 1838 and 1916 OS 6-inch maps as small, circular island. It is a circular structure (diam. c. 27.5m N−S) with a raised centre which slopes down towards the surrounding water level, with a sudden drop at the edge to a depth of c. 2m. When inspected in 1988, timber stakes were noted protruding around the stony edge of the crannog just below water level, and a large amount of animal bone was visible scattered around the edge. It is densely overgrown with bushes, reeds and nettles. Another crannog (MA093-090----) is located c. 120m to NE.
