Archaeology Notes

NG53NE 159 5545 3515

The ruinous remains of a rectangular building were 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 structure has rounded corners and measures 11m x 5.5m internally with walls now little more than raised banks. The SW side of the structure has been dug into the hillside and stands to a height of 1m internally. The NE wall may have had an entrance.
