This Loch has probably got the remains of 6 Prehistoric Crannogs. One of these in particular has been described as peculiar if not unique in that it was constructed solely with stone without the intervention of wooden piles or beams and being nearly circular with a 43 ft outer diameter ( Source:Prehistoric man in Ayrshire John Smith 1895 ).
