NN51SE 3 5847 1112.
A crannog is situated at NN 5847 1112 at the south end of Loch Lubnaig. Nothing is visible above the surface, the site being marked by an iron stanchion; but clearly visible about 2ft below the surface, is a sub-oval bed of stones covering an area about 25.0m N-S by about 15.0m E-W.
Exploration by the Forth Valley Sub-Aqua Club (of which Mr Hunty is a member) in June 1968, revealed that the depth of stone is about 9ft, then follows a brushwood layer on top of timber foundations, the depth between top of stone to bed of loch being about 30ft. No plan or report has been made by the club (Information from Mr Huntly, District officer, Forestry Commission, Kerse road, Stirling).
Visited by OS (E G C) 25 October 1968.
