Title A name given to the resource Cauldron Type The nature or genre of the resource Physical Object Description An account of the resource The broken pieces of a corroded cast cauldron were found in 2013 during an excavation of a pre-Clearances longhouse in the Caen River Valley, in the Strath of Kildonan. The presence of tripod feet and looped swing handles suggests it was used over an open fire. It typically took the form of a witch's cauldron. A fragment was retrieved from within the wall next to the house entrance and possibly signifies a Highland tradition where iron was inserted into the house apertures, including doorways, fireplaces, and window sills, to prevent evil spirits from entering the home.
