Coul Point crannog, located approximately 1030 metres south-west of Coul Point in Scotland, is an Iron Age to Medieval artificial island settlement. The site represents a form of domestic settlement characteristic of Scottish lochs during this extended period, constructed as a timber-built platform or mound within water. Such crannogs served as defended residences and strategic settlements, with their water-based location providing natural protection and access to aquatic resources. The chronological span from Iron Age through Medieval times indicates sustained or repeated occupation across several centuries, reflecting the enduring appeal of crannog habitation in Scottish archaeological contexts.
