NR 4425 5191 The excavation at the dun and roundhouse

structures at Dun Fhinn, March – April 2018, uncovered

occupation deposits associated with both the dun and

roundhouse structures. It had previously been presumed that

the roundhouse structure was a much later addition within

the dun structure, but the excavation has shown these likely

functioned at the same time, the roundhouse probably an

integral building raised within the dun soon after the dun

was constructed. Apart from the recovery of charcoal from

all the occupation deposits, other finds were limited to a few

utilised stones and a few fragments of what may be coarse

pottery.
