This is a well-preserved example of an iron age wheelhouse. It was dug partly into the ground. Central stone partitions, like the spokes of a wheel, divided the house into sections.

A closer view of the stones
It is said that these stones were erected here by Fingal and his fellow hunters to suspend a pot in which whole deer were cooked over a fire to make venison stew.

Eyre Stone Rows

Country: Scotland (Isle of Raasay)

Eyre Stone Rows submitted by SandyG on 6th Jan 2018. Length of field boundary previously identified as a double stone row. View from south east (Scale 1m).

Log Text: The feature described in Canmore forms part of a field boundary that extends further west to NG 57452 34870. The length that was previously described is hidden by bracken making photography difficult in the summer months. The features described are however all discernible. The pairs of stones described are almost touching and represent two sides of an incomplete wall. Walls of this type are present in the vicinity and it was probably intended that the wall would have butted a nearby field boundary at around NG 57541 34821. This is definitely a field boundary and not a stone row.
