Discussion and interpretation of the Loch Shurrery hut circle

Abstract

Loch Shurrey hut circle represents one of a small group of such sites which have been excavated in the northern part of the Scottish mainland. With so few excavated examples it is not possible to draw any clear conclusions about the class as a whole. The pottery and certain aspects of the construction might support the idea of an Iron Age phase of occupation but this may not be the only phase. Construction may have been earlier with a period of reuse after a period of abandonment.
