Udal (Grenitote) submitted by Creative Commons on 13th Apr 2012. Wheelhouse at Udal
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.
ScotlandsPlaces says that there is evidence of continuous occupation from Neolithic times to the post-medieval period.
