Full description
House F at Carn Euny lies immediately to the north of House E (28920.05), with Courtyard House III (28920.12) further north which is joined to House F by a bond of clean yellow rab, suggesting a contemporary date with the courtyard house (b2). The house consists of a double wall 1.0m wide and two courses high. It does not form a circular or oval enclosure but runs northward. There are no traces of walling on the west or south, these having possibly been robbed. It contains a complex of interconnecting gullies, some with stone lids associated with the wall. Pits, post holes and stake holes were found in these gullies. A deposit of whitish floor material containing plain Iron Age pottery was found overlying the drain lids on the north in front of the wall. The hut probably belongs to the later phase Iron Age occupation which continues into, and probably to the end of, the Roman period. This structure, together with House B (28920.03) could represent the fragmentary remains of a courtyard house (h2, b1). The monument was included in the Schedule on 28/9/1934 and the scheduling was updated 18/3/1996.
