Loch na Eala crannog is a residential structure of Iron Age to Medieval date located in a loch in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site consists of an artificial island platform, typical of crannog construction, which would have supported timber buildings and domestic occupation over an extended period. Evidence from such crannogs indicates they functioned as defended dwellings and served populations from the Iron Age through the Medieval period, representing a continuity of settlement practice across these epochs. The site's survival in lacustrine conditions has potential to preserve organic remains that illuminate domestic life and material culture across these distinct historical phases.
