Monument record 13580 - SOUTH BAGHASDAL, LOCH AN EILEAN

NF71NW 28 7463 1688

NF 7462 1688 Loch an Eilean, South Baghasdal. Artificial or modified island, or 'low cairn crannog': a shelf of stones approximately 10m in diameter, mostly under the present water line, which drops off at roughly 45° into the loch bed. A 2-3m diameter mound of stones survives in the centre of this platform above the water level. Mostly this is a loose conglomeration of stones, though it is possible that the centre is a denuded stretch of walling.
