One of two islands in Loch Garry, both known as Eilean nan Mhuilchean, is opposite the 4th. milestone from Invergarry and c. 200 yards from the south side of the loch. It is a natural feature enlarged by stones brought from the shore. There are the remains of a causeway to the mainland. No evidence of timbering was seen in the island which is accepted as a crannog by the author.

The level of the loch has been raised and the island is now submerged. No trace of a causeway could be found.
