The Crannog in the Loch - Loch Migdale, Scottish Highlands (S11E03)

S11E03

In Loch Migdale, there's a round formation of stones that might be a crannog, while a small circular feature on the shore, measuring 12 meters across, could be a henge. The Time Team gathers experts in prehistoric structures to explore these possibilities. They deploy a suction dredge to examine two locations in the loch, uncovering beautifully preserved timber that confirms the presence of a constructed crannog. Using GPS surveying and a tip from a local farmer, they discover an underwater causeway leading to it. Excavations within the henge reveal that its entrance and wooden posts align with significant landscape features. Meanwhile, Stewart searches for the Migdale Hoard's discovery site.
