Milton Loch SE Crannog is located in the south-east corner of Milton Loch, c. 1 mile south-east of Crocketford in Dumfries and Galloway. According to Canmore ID 65047 the crannog was discovered in 1953 when the water level in Loch Milton was lowered. Milton Loch SE Crannog is situated c. 20 metres west of the bank near the Milton Burn outlet from the loch. It consists of an oval platform of stones measuring c. 20 metres east-west and 14 metres north-south. Low water level in 1973 exposed 38 vertical piles and several horizontal timbers on the platform. Around 10 of the vertical piles delineated a causeway to the shore. A pile taken from the crannog in 1989 was dated to c. 110 BC.
The crannog is currently occupied by a large mature tree and shrubbery. The high water level has obscured any features of the crannog excepting a short stony projection on the east arc, probably remains of the original causeway.
