Description
Douglas Hague identified and excavated a settlement comprised of several conjoined structures during a visit to the island in 1972. In the centre was a rectangular shaped house, 9.5 m by 8 m, constructed of mixed orthostats and coursed masonry, and standing c. 0.3 m high. This was abutted to the south by a slightly larger building, 9.5 m by 11.5 m and to the north by a rounded enclosure, 13 m in diameter. Field walls were traced radiating out from this cluster of buildings to the north and east. Their date is unclear, but they are possibly early medieval.
