Archaeology Notes

NG53NE 188 5593 3531

A long pile of stones, 14m x 4m, 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 appears to be field clearance material and lies near to thee old roadway to the iron mine.
