I disagree with this:
"people who have only the vaguest idea of what the thing being voted on"
- Yes, most people probably don't know a lot about archeology. I assume
this is the reason why participation was so low.
- However, anybody can judge whether they find it sensible to approve a
tag before the key itself or the parent tags is approved. You don't need
to know anything about archeology for this.

Hello,

approved that means that the subject has been discussed,
that people have spent time on it, that there has been
an opportunity to detect problems, to propose improvements
it's quite different from an "in use", because a guy invented
Unfortunately discussion and "voting" by people who have only the
vaguest idea of what the thing being voted on is adds no value*. There
is a place on the "B Ark" for them...
The fact that there was only one comment during the fortnight of
discussion means that people really don't know (or don't care) what
these are, and people who do know and care (such as the proposer) should
probably "just map these". Whether that's via
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/defensive_settlement=crannog
(which is slightly ahead in taginfo) or
https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/settlement_type=crannog matters
little; there are few of them in OSM right now, and the word "crannog"
is characteristic enough, that they can fairly easily be remapped into
some "better" archaeological scheme at some later stage.
What matters is getting them mapped, and getting from the 10s currently
in OSM to the 1500 or so that apparently do or did exist**.
Best Regards,
Andy

** According to wikipedia. I was surprised that there were apparently
as many as 1200 in Ireland.
