The remains of an Iron Age Crannog, dating from around 2,000 years ago, on the foreshore of the Clyde at Boden Boo, with the Erskine Bridge, which opened in 1971, in the background. Crannogs consisted of a round house constructed on a manmade island in lochs, marshes or intertidal zones. In this case, a circle of wooden posts were sunk into the sand and the internal space was filled with rocks and silt to create the base on which the house was then be built.
