Achnacree Moss is a crannog situated approximately 210 metres south-west of Moss Cottage in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site represents an Iron Age to Medieval artificial island settlement, constructed within a freshwater loch environment to provide defended domestic occupation. Crannogs of this period typically comprised timber-built structures erected upon substantial wooden platforms or stone-based foundations, offering strategic advantages through their water-based location. The extended chronological span from Iron Age through to the Medieval period suggests continuity of settlement or successive reoccupation across multiple centuries at this location.
