Breachacha crannog

[1] A scheduled monument is a 'nationally important' archaeological site or historic building, given legal protection against unauthorised change.

[2] The crannog is located at grid reference NM15615304;[3] about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of Breachacha Castle.

[3] The crown of the mound stands about 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) above the surrounding former loch-bed; and according to Mark W. Holley, this corresponds with what would have been the maximum water level of the old loch.

Holley's calculations deduced that when the loch was full, the crannog would have been located about 30 metres (98 ft 5 in) from shore.

[4] Holley surveyed the site in 1995 and noted a series of five, semicircular pits dug into the ground on the east, south, and south-west sides of the crannog.
