ARO23: Excavation and Survey at Comar Wood Dun, Cannich, Strathglass, Inverness-shire

Mary Peteranna and Steven Birch

With contributions by Beverley Ballin Smith, Catherine Smith, Susan Ramsay

Its history is complicated by two successive hearths, the evidence for internal wooden structures, two burning events and rebuilding before it was abandoned. A small amount of artefactual material was recovered, but tree root plate damage was extensive.
