The iron age wheelhouse at Kilpheder, South Uist. The walls stood at their original height and for nearly two thousand years, the house was very well preserved under the South Uist machair. The wheelhouse was excavated in the mid 20th century. Once the sand was removed, much of the structure crumbled away. Today, very little of the original structure remains.
