The remains of a crannog were discovered when the foundation pits were being dug for the railway bridge over the Penny Burn. Several of the mortised oak beams were taken out, and some are still preserved. They have been roughly dressed, the largest being 11 inches square, with mortise-holes, and the smallest one is 4 inches square, with mortise-holes.
