Monument record 14380 - Newton House Settlement, North Uist

The gradiometer date from Newton House has defined an area of settlement activity covering approximately 0.25ha, which appears to be associated with the souterrain discovered in 2006. Within this area a possible roundhouse has been identified as well as a number of possible rectilienar structures that are presumably also broadly Iron Age in date. Althought the results of the resistance survey were generally disappointing they did support the probably location of the roundhouse and also gave a broad idea as to the depth at which some of these deposits were buried.
It also defined the location of a possible post-medieval complex of buildings to the west of Newton House. The survey has also suggested that although a considerable depth and area of archaeological deposits are present, these are concentrated on the north side of a natural landform, rather than constituting an entire settlement mound.
