Research description
Evidence sometimes cited for Bronze Age crannog occupation requires phase-specific treatment. The strongest wider crannog construction horizon lies later in the first millennium BCE, so the site is retained mainly as a boundary case and research gap.
Properties and assignments
A label’s definition and the evidence for assigning it here are separate.
Contextual record outside primary interval
The record lies partly or chiefly outside 1600–800 BCE but clarifies an antecedent or consequence.
Why does this record have this property?
The record extends materially outside 1600–800 BCE and is included only to clarify an antecedent or consequence.
