Full Description
NC63NE 52 6549 3821.
At NC 6549 3821, towards E end of Loch Naver and some 70m from nearest point on southern shore, is a crannog of bare, rubble stones. It is wholly submerged for most of winter, and was partially so at the time of investigation being 0.9m maximum height. Large stones around rim of crannog may be the remains of a retaining wall, indicating dimensions of 21.0m N-S by 18.0m E-W. The stones of the crannog rise abruptly from bed of loch, which is at least 2m deep around the structure; no causeway can be seen.
Visited by OS (N K B) 14 August 1978.
