Crannog in West Dunbartonshire
This Crannog was located on the North bank of the River Clyde, near modern day Old Kilpatrick (The reputed birthplace of 'Maewyn Succat' - canonized by the Church as St. Patrick)
The discovery of Carbonised, unthreshed ears of Barley and many other seeds types were recovered from the Crannog remains in 1906, and documented by "J.G. Callander" in 1911.
The Crannog was excavated by Messrs Napier's Shipyards Ltd, during the construction of a shipyard in the early part of the 19th century, the site was excavated and a number of photographs are now held by RCAHMS. Due to the major engineering works at the shipyard, and its subsequent demolition and landfill programme, the site appears to have been destroyed - although during the summer of 1997, "A.G.C Hale" found the probable location and a timber, possibly from the original structure excavated in the early 19th century.
Just over 100m away downriver, in the grounds of the old shipyard, a possible Souterrain was also discovered. A "Mr Ludovic Mann" found an abundance of Barley, showing the awn and stalk, on the floor of a pre-Roman house at Messrs Napier and Miller's Yard. (The area housed the most Westerly of the Roman Forts along the Antonine Wall)
