Carlungie Earth House Souterrain

Carlungie Earth House is located east from Dundee (Scottish Gaelic: Dùn Dè, Aonghas, Alba) and about 1 mile east of Templehall off the B962 road. It is though to date to about 50 AD and these structures are mostly found in a number of the Celtic lands along the western European Atlantic coast. Carlungie Earth House is about 40m long and is considered to be one of the largest and most complex examples of its kind in Scotland. The site was discovered in 1949 when the field in which it is located was being ploughed. Subsequent excavations during the following two years also revealed about eight associated stone dwellings at ground level.
