Summary[edit]
| Description |
Barhapple Loch is small semicircular freshwater loch located in Wigtownshire, Dumfries and Galloway in Scotland. Barhapple Loch is principally known for the discovery of a Crannog in 1878 on the loch, it was drained Thirty-one feet from the outside piles towards the southeast, there was a layer of rough, large stones, marked b on Plate III., about 15 feet long from north to south, and 11 feet broad. Seventeen feet farther north, and 18 feet from the east side, there was a spade-shaped platform, with the convex end to the north, about 2 6 feet in length and breadth. The Plan shows its appearance in February 1879, with several pieces of wood flooring towards the east side, and a layer of large rough stones at A. In October 1880 some of the logs had rotted away, and others were pierced through by the shoots of the marsh plants, which are gradually covering the partially drained area. Thirty feet to the west of a, there was a circular layer of rough stones about 1 feet in diameter, surrounded by several rings of piles. On removing some loose dry peat on the east part of a, we found a floor of oak logs, laid north and south, 10 feet 6 inches in length and 8 feet in breadth. |
