NM 8672 0253. This crannog measured 6m in diameter and 0.3m high (when the level of the loch was high). It is composed of small rounded stones, with no apparent structure, although below water level the stones do not seem to have been disarranged and are still well set. A causeway could not be confirmed, the average depth of water between crannog and shore being c. 2.0m.

Surveyed at 1/2500.

Visited by OS (D W R) 12 October 1971.
