Full Description
26. Kildonan, South Uist. NF 7270 2895
c. 10m diameter, 0.5m + depth of deposits. Surveyed June 1994. Cultivated land.
Scarce Iron Age pottery, shell and bone.
Parker Pearson and Sharples
NF 7270 2895 The occupation deposits at this location lay immediately behind a natural shell sand mound. A single trench suggested that the activity dates to the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age. The lowest deposit exposed, a thin red clay layer, appeared to be a floor layer and suggests the presence of a house. It was covered by several less diagnostic occupation soils.
