Archaeology Notes

NM68SE 9.01 6709 8444

The foundations of four rectilinear structures were assessed during the course of an archaeological evaluation prior to the initiation of a woodland regeneration programme. Loosely grouped on a rocky knoll, they form part of the larger township (NM68SE 9.00) in the valley leading down to Camas Ghaoideil bay.

Two structures are of loose stone construction, measuring 7m by 4m and 5m by 4m respectively, with walls around 1m thick. To the south lies a larger, although less well defined, structure of turf and stone construction.

A further building is located some 50m uphill to the northwest of the main group. It is also a turf and stone banked structure of similar proportions, although unlike the others, it is enclosed by a turf bank around 0.3m high and 1m wide.

Unlike other structures in the township, these buildings do not feature on any historical maps.
