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 13. Roundhouse. This site (see photo Fig 9 p36) is located on top of a knoll to the N of a fence. The round house has an internal diameter of 8m and a substantial encircling bank of stone and turf with a spread of up to 2.5m and a height of 0.6m internally (1m externally). There is an entrance of 3m width in the SE arc of the structure; it has a linear stone setting across it indicating that the structure has probably had more recent use as an animal pen. The terminals of the entrance are “expanded” but this may be due to more recent activity too. A further feature is a shallow depression 3m x 1.5m to the east of the entrance. <1>
