NS 02 59 (island centre) Medieval/post-medieval building. At least three phases of activity were identified. Preliminary indications suggest that the earliest phase dates between the 12th and 15th centuries. Over this were the remains of a longhouse thought to date to between the 16th and 17th centuries. A midden to the NE is probably associated with this phase of occupation. The building collapsed at the E end after it was abandoned. A later rebuild, probably in the 18th century, utilised the W end of the longhouse but it was shortened by the construction of a new wall at the E end. Artefactual evidence suggests that this building was abandoned in the late 18th century. This building is thought to be represented on Foulis' map of 1758/9.
