Full Description
A project to survey and record archaeological features at Inverlaidnan and Sluggan (originally named Inchluin) was undertaken by NOSAS members in 2018.
Site 80. Well. The eastern of 2 wells annotated on the 1770 estate plan. There is now no physical remains of any well structure but the site of it is on a SE-facing slope at the foot of a glacial terrace and 4m NW of a post-and-wire fence which separates the hillside from a field of improved pasture. A spring emerges from the ground and is manifest as an area of reed-grown water approx. 0.75m diameter and 0.5m deep, surrounded by marshy ground to a spread of 2m. This marshy ground is limited on the SE side by a raised bank up to 0.75m high. To the NE a ditch runs for approx. 50m parallel to, and 4m NW of, the fence, draining the spring and marshy ground into an area of wet scrub. <1>
