Using tapes and a hydrograph, measurements were taken for a contour survey of the crannog and the surrounding area. These eventually resulted in two- and three-dimensional printouts from the computer showing clearly that there is a definite feature on the edge of the drop-off into deep water. This supported the observations made underwater which indicated that the remains are indeed those of a crannog. A large piece of timber embedded in the loch bed may have formed part of a structure.
