At NR 2831 7262, on the SW side of Ardnave Loch, is a crannog, surviving as a completely turf covered flat topped mound of stones on a peninsula, some 0.5m to 1.0m. The crannog is 30.0m in diameter and about 1.0m high, the "depression about 10 1/2ft across" noted by Celoria (1959) is probably an animal burial pit. The course of the causeway is presumably obscured by the present broad, turf covered isthmus, but apart from a few scattered stones exposed where the soil is eroded, there is little visible remains.
In the centre of the crannog a mound has been erected, measuring 10.0m in diameter and 0.7m high. Its summit is disturbed revealing 5 cist-like structures of apparently no great age.
Surveyed at 1:10 000.
Visited by OS (N K B) 10 June 1978.
