Crannog, Breachacha: This crannog, which was situated in the middle of the former loch known as Poll nam Broig, 1km SSW of Breachacha, is now in an arable field, the loch having been drained about 1875. It appears as a flat-topped mound of stones and earth, which measures 2m high, 26m by 21m at the base, and 16m by 11m on the top.
