Doarlish Cashen Farmstead
Archaeology
The site of a farmstead and associated features. The house measures circa 7 metres long by 3 metres wide. The house was excavated in 1969. This was a longhouse with turf walls with some facing stones, benches and a central hearth. Associated with it was a rectangular corn-drying kiln and traces of a boundary wall.
The only finds were a spindle whorl, a fragment of an iron buckle (unstratified) and a sherd of dark grey unglazed pottery. Three flints were also found, thought to have probably come from turves used in walls or roofing of house. A medieval date seems likely and it would appear to be the home of a Norse crofter
