Archaeology Notes

NG53NE 193 5781 3528

A large rock shelter, 4m x 4m x 0.6m high, 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 lies at the foot of a 4m high cliff and has been built using loose material fallen from the rock face. There is an entrance 0.8m wide.
