Site Event/Activity record EWE89 - Trial Excavation, Frobost, South Uist

NF72NW 39 c.733 256 NF 733 256 Frobost. MoLRS site. The nature of settlement in a landscape surrounding a medieval to 20th-century township was investigated. Thirteen trenches were excavated. None produced structural remains. Cultural residues were all 19th or 20th century with the exception of several lithic waste and worked flakes, probably Neolithic. The results suggest that the site of the upstanding remains was the focus for settlement in this township from at least the 16th century.
