Archaeology Notes

NG53NE 152 5599 3517

A small oval structure was recorded here during a field survey of the Suisnish area of Raasay by ACFA, who have conducted surveys on the island every year since 1995. It has been rebuilt with rough boulders on top of earlier foundations. The building measures 4.7m x 3.5m externally with walls 0.8m thick and a maximum of 0.7m in height. It may be a byre or other farm building or store.
