	To build a crannog
		Crannogs were Celtic vernacular buildings which formed the ordinary living house for a family unit and also, in some instances, livestock.
		Another crannog feature is that they were very often built on piles over water, with a bridge or walkway connecting them to the shore or were built on natural or man-made islands, in both cases harbours and jetties are a common feature as are middens for the disposal of domestic waste.
		In Scottish loch based crannogs the evidence is of alder (Alnus glutinosa) legs, birch (Betula pendula) and ash (Fraxinus excelsior) roof timbers, incidental rowan (Sorbus aucuparia) timbers and willow (Salix caprea and cinerea), hazel (Corylus avellana) and bird cherry (Prunus padus) "withies" in the woven walls.

	An Introduction to Crannogs
		Crannogs found in the Hebrides seem to have been built primarily of stone whereas those found in mainland were predominantly built of wood.
		It is easy to understand why the crannog dwellers valued their timber, understood its selection, and practiced coppicing and general principles of conservation and woodland management.
		The Scottish Crannog Centre is situated beside the watersports centre on the south shore of Loch Tay, about 1km from the village of Kenmore and is open April through October.

	Stones of Ireland - Craggaunowen crannog
		Crannogs are lake or lakeside settlements which were inhabited from the Mesolithic to the Early Medieval period.
		True crannogs, that is, artificial islands containing a dwelling and surrounded by one or more palisades, were being constructed in the Early Medieval period and these may be regarded as the wetlands' equivalent of the contemporary ring forts.
		Crannogs may have developed partly from a habit of living on small natural islands, either as a means of exploiting the fish and wild fowl of lakes or for providing security in times of danger.

		Crannogs were places of habitation and refuge usually fortified, raised enclosures constructed of layers of rocks shored up with stakes driven into the loch bed.
		The oldest-known crannogs were probably built as long as 5,000 years ago, during the Neolithic era, with many different phases of construction or reconstruction taking place since then.
		Crannogs found in the Hebrides, for example, seem to have been built mainly of stone, while those on the mainland were built in large part with wood.

	CRANNOG
		A crannog is an ancient Irish village that can be traced back to the Bronze Age in Ireland.
		It was a very secure village as it was surrounded by water and further protected by a circle of timber logs driven into the ground with wattles woven in and out through them for protection.
		A watchman was on guard at all times in the lookout tower at the drawbridge, he watched all that happened on the outside, and warned the villagers when danger approached.
