Loch Poit na h-I, crannog 220m SSE of Achaban House is a submerged or semi-submerged artificial island settlement located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The crannog dates to the Iron Age and Medieval periods, indicating sustained use across more than a millennium of Scottish settlement history. Such structures, built on freshwater lochs by constructing timber-framed platforms upon stone and timber foundations, served as defended domestic sites and fishing settlements. The site's longevity of occupation reflects the enduring strategic and economic value of loch-based settlement in the Scottish Highlands and Islands throughout antiquity and the Middle Ages.
