Description

A desk-based assessment and archaeological measured survey were carried out by AOC Archaeology Group in 2017 of a settlement located to the south of Eynort on the Isle of Skye. It had been recently rediscovered by Forestry Commission Scotland staff. Thirty-three archaeological sites were recorded, comprising a clustered settlement of stone structures, attached enclosures, boundary dykes and a bridge across the Allt Dabhoch. The site was located under dense standing and windblown trees within a coniferous plantation. Documentary evidence suggested that the settlement had been known as Brunell or Brunal. <1>
