NR 241 658. A causeway was exposed in Loch Gorm by drought in August, when it could be seen that it passed over an earlier dry ridge which led to a small round island, about 30ft in diameter ringed with stones. In the bed of the loch around this are three large branches cut from trees, still retaining bark and one long beam stripped of bark. This may be a crannog.

This possible crannog is not prehistoric, but may be historic. The causeway is visible on air photographs.
Information from RCAHMS to OS.
There are traces of building on this island.
