Monument record 5004 - Grimsay Wheelhouse

This site has been extensively excavated, but without much record. The finds suggest that it was a wheelhouse overbuilt by later structures, of which the latest was a pre-Clearance sheiling. Viking Age pottery, and mediaeval pottery also indicate the probability of near continuous occupation. A site whose finds would repay further study.

The finds from this site were catalogued as part of the Sonraitche Project in 2021, these objects are now part of MnE's archaeology collection. Due to the nature of the excavation methods, there is limited contextual information associated with these finds.
