Archaeology Notes

NG53NE 154 5599 3517 (centred)

A round-ended structure, possibly a dwelling house, 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. The remains measure 9.7m x 4.8m externally, with walls 1.2m thick and upto a metre in height (now mostly turf covered). There may have been a NE entrance. There are no visibe internal features.
