Location cited as NN c. 672 363). This oval crannog measures about 30m by 24m and the top is about 1.5m below the normal level of the loch; the bottom edge is at a depth of up to 5.4m. It is probably one of the 'cairns' that Gillies notes near Ardeonaig, either that 'to the west of the spot where the Alltvin Burn enters the loch' or that 'in the little bay below Dall farmhouse'.

As part of the Scottish Crannog Survey a number of sites in Loch Tay, originally surveyed in 1979 (PSAS 1982, 17-38), were resurveyed in August 2000.
NN 672 363 Dall Farm (North). This site (NN63NE 26) is closer to Dall Farm (South) than was recorded in the original survey of 1979. The two sites are 20m apart. The N site is deeper under water (1.5-3.75m) and further offshore than that in the S, and it is slightly smaller with much steeper sides. Several structural timbers were noted embedded on the top of the crannog.
