The loch-side settlement of Druim nan Dearcag has been shown by excavation to date to the
16th-17th centuries AD, when it formed part of a dispersed settlement pattern in north-west North
Uist. Elements of this settlement system were subsequently truncated by ridge-and-furrow cultivation
associated with the cleared township or 'baile' of Foshigarry. The site produced rare structural and
artefactual evidence for this period of Hebridean history and may help shed some light on the
development of settlement patterns, house types and land use in the late medieval and post-medieval
periods. |
