Full Description
During a desk-based assessment exercise in advance of a proposed afforestation scheme at Glen Spean by the Centre for Archaeology in 1998 it was noted that the OS first edition records a long roofed building range attached to the northeast angle of enclosure wall 1/10, which was annotated as "Peat Huts". This site is absent from all subsequent coverage. Field survey revealed the stone footings of two ranges of interconnected chambers. The north range abutted the inside of enclosure wall 10, the east range abutted the outside of the wall. At least 7 chambers were detected in the northern range, and 5 in the east range. The chambers were generally 6-8 m long and 2 m wide. Presumably the structures were temporary dwellings for peat cutters. <1>
