Loch Nell crannog is a wetland settlement structure located approximately 200 metres north-east of Rubha Namoine in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site represents an artificial island dwelling of Iron Age to Medieval date, belonging to a tradition of crannog construction that persisted across several centuries in Scottish freshwater lochs. Such structures served as secure domestic and possibly defensive settlements, typically constructed from timber and stone platforms built up from the loch bed or supported on timber piles. The crannog's longevity of occupation across the Iron Age and into the Medieval period indicates sustained use and cultural continuity at this location in the Argyll landscape.
