(NR 9160 9247) A crannog was exposed by the lowering of the waters of Loch Glashan during work on a hydro-electric scheme in April 1960. Excavation by Mr and Mrs J G Scott in July and August 1960 prior to the re-flooding of the site in the autumn of 1961 revealed the structure both of the oak and birch piles crannog itself and of the successive buildings it had borne. The many finds indicated an occupation between about 500 AD (as evidenced by sherds of Rhineland pottery) and 850 AD (evidenced by a bronze pennanular brooch). (See also NR99SW 2).
