(NX 2333 5509) A crannog (No 10 on plan), visible during the drought of 1873 as a circular mound of stones, set on peat and measuring 18' in diameter and over 3' in height, with three short beams of wood laid on top. Nearby was a mass of wood, about 5' by 3' formed of several pieces joined together.
