Full Description
An archaeological survey of the township of Keppoch, Dundonnell, Ross-shire was undertaken by NOSAS members in April 2014. See MHG6300 for main township record. Buildings 26, 28, 29, 31 and 32 are aligned along the upper part of the township forming a “street”.
Building 29. This rectangular building, with internal dimensions approx. 7m x 2m, shares a gable with building 28 to the west and so continues the alignment south-east/north-west. The north and south walls are mainly footings but there is some upstanding wall on the eastern gable, standing to 0.9m. There is no obvious entrance or other feature. There is tumble from the eastern gable in the interior of the building. <1>
