Full Description
NG94NE 2 99 46.
There is a small apparently artificial island in Loch Dhughaill at NG 9929 4665 and a similar one at NG 9845 4622 where river Carron flows out of S end of the loch. It is however doubtful if either of these islands is the 'crannog' described by Blundell which is only visible "when the water is very low". No local information was forthcoming regarding the site.
Visited by OS (W D J) 21 October 1966
A crannog is visible about 100 yards from shore of Loch Dhughaill when water is very low. Some years before 1913 oak sticks fastened with large wooden pins were washed ashore from it.

A photograph of one of the artificial islands was submitted by a visitor to the HER website in August 2008. <2>
