NN 7230 4429 This work formed part of the Living on Water

investigation of Early Iron Age crannog-dwellers in Loch Tay.

Work on 12 July 2018 consisted of a single dive to sample

a series of piles from the walkway. Dendrochronological

assessment of old samples from the walkway piles had

suggested potential relationships to timbers from the main

crannog mound, but their desiccated state required new

samples to be collected for further analysis. Four oak

piles were sampled from the walkway feature. These will

see full dendrochronological analysis with a view toward

developing dendrochronologies at Oakbank.
