Archaeology Notes

NG62SW 44 6220 2380

Lying on an artificial platform, 25m to the NE of the Allt nam Meacan, at about 60m OD is a longhouse aligned NW-SE which measures 12m by 5m over walls 1.25m wide. Both ends of the structure are rounded and a possible deep opening survives at the NW end of the SW-facing wall. To the SW of the longhouse is a small enclosure containing three lazy-beds. Visited by M Wildgoose 5 April 1990
