NN 6744 3623 This work formed part of the Living on Water
investigation of Early Iron Age crannog-dwellers in Loch
Tay. The project is excavating a range of crannogs with
known EIA phases to collect structural timber samples for
dendrochronology and wiggle-match radiocarbon dating.
In 2017 a 2 x 2m trench was located on the E side of
the crannog where the stone capping met the natural
loch sediments. This trench, Trench 1, revealed 26 timber
elements, both piles and horizontals, of which 10 piles were
sampled. In July 2018 this trench was reopened and four
further piles were sampled. Dendrochronological analysis
will be undertaken on the four new samples.
