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 59. Platform/probable building. This platform is set 2m to the north of the Grantown road adjacent to the Inn. It is aligned SW/NE and 6m+ (W end obscured by dense young birch) x 3.5m. The platform is recessed into the slope, there is no trace of stone walling but it almost certainly held a building, possibly of timber and possibly that marked in the same position on an estate plan of 1808. <1>
Note: Site not visible on aerial photographs so location approximate. (T. Blackie 7/8/19)
