NR 2406 6581. This island is not apparently artificial and there is no visible evidence of a crannog. Near the centre of the island are the turf-covered footings of a rectangular building. It is 6.0m by 5.0m over walling 0.8m wide and 0.3m high; its origin and purpose are no longer apparent. A scattered line of boulders 130.0m long and up to 3.5m wide forms a causeway (of doubtful antiquity) which terminates at a sandbank approximately 50.0m short of the island. An Iron Age stone ploughshare found in 1970 from a crannog in Loch Gorm is displayed in Islay Museum (information from Islay Museum display card) (Acc. No. IMT 1977-72)
