(NF 7197 7407) Erd Houses (NR) (Site of)

OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1904)

At Kilpheder, coastal erosion has revealed thin layers of kitchen-midden and traces of a slight single wall, which curves in a northerly direction for several yards and seems to represent part of the underground linings of one of the earth-houses indicated by the OS. Finds from the former site include potsherds, hammer-stones, iron slag and a single cut-marked bone.

A potsherd and an oval pebble fragment are in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS).
