Monument record 14855 - Holm, Lewis

NB 44 30 (centre) In Novemeber 1999 an archaeological evaluation of sites at Holm was carried out in advance of proposed construction of waste water treatment works. The evaluation involved palaeoenvironmental assessment of peat deposits, geophysical survey, topographic survey or trial trenching of five sites…
Trench 1 (5 x 1.5m) was opened over the W side of Site 8 and identified a denuded linear bank with sherds of Craggan ware adjacent to it. The linear nature of the bank and its close proximity to sets of rig and furrow suggest that it represents the remnants of a narrow rig. The stone element in its apparent structure probably represented the tumble of the denuded wall to the S.
