Despite the modest scale of the trenching and landscape analysis, this programme of work on Inchmahome has confirmed the preservation and unique character of a complex and rich history. Although a detailed chronology is not clear at present it is fair to say that the archaeology, ocumentation, topography and plantation of Inchmahome define a series of frames of reference which cumulatively and individually represent a consistent and well preserved pattern of settlement and land use over an extended period. It is equally apparent that no one aspect of the island archaeological resource, whether standing remains, tree cover, ecology, hydrology, etc. of the island can be best understood in isolation. In turn, Inchmahome is only one element within a complex of islands in the Lake of Menteith, all of which are associated, if only by being in the same relatively small body of water and subject to the same nvironmental/hydrological factors.
