Archaeology Notes

NN50SE 72 5676 0027.

NN 567 002 No structural remains can be seen on the Dog Isle today. Underwater examination of the island suggested that it is at least partly artificial - consisting of boulders capping an existing natural feature. Most revealing was the discovery of two Quercus timbers at a depth of 1.7m embedded into the island. One of these timbers was recovered as it demonstrated evidence for tool facets. (See NN50SE 5 for possible association with the castle on Inch Talla.)

J C Henderson 1994.
