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 67 Platform/probable buildings. This is a large sloping platform (see photo Fig 11 p37) located to the rear/northwest of the building/inn (MHG25006). The platform is roughly 25m square and covered in heather and birch scrub. It almost certainly held timber buildings associated with the building/inn and three buildings are marked on the estate plan of 1808. The platform is recessed into the slope on its east and north side where there is evidence of quarrying. <1>
