Redcastle crannog is an Iron Age to Medieval artificial island settlement located approximately 600 metres south-southeast of Redcastle in Scotland. The site represents a form of defended domestic occupation characteristic of Scottish crannogs, which were constructed by building timber-framed structures on naturally occurring or artificially created islands in lochs and wetland areas. The extended chronology from the Iron Age through the Medieval period suggests continuous or repeated use of this location, indicating its sustained importance as a settlement site. The crannog's survival as an archaeological monument provides evidence of domestic life and settlement patterns across multiple historical periods in the Scottish landscape.
