Description and Table of Contents

Description

Crannogs located in maritime environments have not been well-studied, principally because of their proximity to the shoreline and their relative scarcity. This study combines literary research with fieldwork to investigate the main features, functions and date of these sites including excavation and palaeoenvironmental sampling. Crannogs from the area around the Beauly Firth and the Firth of Clyde are assessed in terms of site distribution, location and environmental change, site structure and function, and chronology. Alex Hale ends by presenting a predictive model for identifying possible locations of marine crannogs based on a series of common characteristics and criteria.
