What is recorded here

Castle Semple Loch is a 1.5-mile freshwater body in Renfrewshire that once belonged to a much larger water system called Loch Winnoch. Human ambition and river silt later chopped that vast expanse into smaller pieces, leaving behind a place where rowing championships still clash with ancient marsh memories. The loch keeps both lives at once: polished sports on its surface and forgotten depth beneath it.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Semple Loch as Crannog (prehistoric) - (medieval)(possible), Logboat(s) (period Unknown)(possible). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1km. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
