The Amazon's House, Gleann Mor, St Kilda

One of the many structures in Gleann Mor, St Kilda, but this one is the most studied and is named on OS Maps. In Gleann Mor, complex clusters of remains bear affinities with the building traditions of Iron Age wheelhouses, of particular note being the Amazon's House, with its central chamber and linked cells beneath turfed corbelling.
