Inishail crannog is a residential structure of Iron Age to Medieval date located in Argyllshire, Scotland, situated approximately 100 metres west of Inishail island. The site represents evidence of sustained settlement and occupation across an extended chronological span, from the Iron Age through the Medieval period, indicating the strategic and economic importance of loch-based settlement in this region. As a crannog, the monument would have comprised a timber-built dwelling platform constructed within the loch, a settlement type characteristic of Scottish and Irish contexts during these periods. The site's survival and archaeological designation reflect its value as evidence for understanding domestic settlement patterns, building practices, and continuity of occupation in the Argyll region during the Iron Age and Medieval periods.
