I was watching Time Team on the ABC where they were excavating a suspected crannog and henge monument at Loch Migdale in Scotland back in 2004 when they showed a quick bit of video of the remains of a stone causeway underwater.
Whilst watching the fly over of the rocks something caught my eye, something that looked too regular to be natural and what appeared to me to be a round circular container. I had recorded it on the DVD recorder so I grabbed a few frames to show, but whilst it can be hard to see in still images it’s a bit more obvious when you see it moving so I’ve also got an animated GIF of those put together here.
Here are the individual stills in my gallery with the oddity highlighted, click on one to see it at a better size.
I cannot see anything regularly shaped in these shots. It just looks like boulders to me. Perhaps the resolution is lost putting the film onto PC. I cannot see anything that looks like a container. You could try e-mailing the team on Channel 4’s website: http://www.channel4.com/timeteam .

Tomorrow night I’ll have a go and see if I can highlight where I think the oddity is.
I’ve tried to register for the C4 forums already but I’ve got to wait for them to approve my membership. I did go looking for an email address but I couldn’t see it..
thanks!

Bottom central looks a bit like a builders hard hat.
Now added highlighted images, unfortunately it’s still quite murky but that’s the water quality, can’t do much about that. 🙂
With the highlighted bit it becomes more obvious.
Looking at it closely, I suppose the imaginative eye could see a jug. But don’t quote me as i’m not an expert.
The site (as all are), are very well recorded, so if it was anything, i’m sure it was recorded.
The specialists on crannogs in this episode were Nick Dixon and Barrie Andrian, and I think it safe to say they may have it covered…
