Nice to see professional archaeologists spotting Orkney's anomalous under-representation in the crannog stakes. Several are being looked at this year, of which these (briefly mentioned in my Heart of Orkney weblog "In the loch there were two islets, a very small one on which were some no doubt natural slabs and a larger one with the remains of some structure apparent") are the main targets. The NGR is for that which has a structure visible at one end - the other is at HY260150.
