Full Description
A probably C19 farmhouse at Duntulm, near Trotternish, Skye. Now in use as a hotel.
Photographs of the building and surroundings of Duntulm House are held in the collections of the archives in Portree. <1>
The building and its surroundings were subject to a desk-based assessment and walkover survey by West Coast Archaeological Services in 2014 in advance of proposed development. The fieldwork produced a record of archaeological structures and features within the site boundaries, which comprised the remains of a walled garden, stone dykes and enclosures, structures relating to the former Duntulm Steadings and Farm, and more ephemeral features of unknown function and origin. It is most likely that these sites related to post-medieval settlement remains, relating to activities focusing on Duntulm Steadings and the associated farm. <2>
