• WM013-027 Crannog
  Description

  Originally located in marshy ground on the eastern side of shallow marshy wetlands, originally part of Dysart Lakes complex of ribbon lakes along the River Deel. This crannóg was described by O'Sullivan (2004, 54-5) as following; 'low, circular mound (diam. 23m; H 1.2m) of dark, peaty soil, with vertical wooden posts and numerous fragments of burnt bone scattered across the site. It is presently in a marshy field and is heavily overgrown (by alder, willow and rushes) and inaccessible. The site must have been built on a natural, low shoal in the lake, as indicated by local presence of sands and gravels. This crannog was originally revealed during the digging of a drainage ditch for the River Deel, which is located c. 20m to E'.
