  • Crannog site: Eilean Mhic Conuill, Loch Bhasapol 

    Ellean Mhic Conuill. Loch Bhasapol Crannog

    NL 9695 4677 This site, identified by RCAHMS (1980. no 246(2)) is located 82 m S of the large peninsula in the W end of Loch Bhasapol. The section of loch bed surrounding the site is composed of firm sand with a slight growth of vegetation, no trace of a causeway. At the time of survey the top of the site was covered by 0.3 m of water and showed no signs of vegetational growth. The site is surrounded by water 1.2 to 1.5 m in depth but deepens to 2.3 m between the site and shore.

    The artificial island is a circular mound of small, well-rounded stone, which measures 31.6 by 34.5 m at its base. The mound is capped by a fairly level, circular platform, which measures 24 m in diameter and stands 1 m above the surrounding loch bed. The sides of the mound taper out gradually at an angle of 6 degrees over and average of 5 m. No walling, shaped stone or timbers were found.
