Eilean Domhnuill is a prehistoric settlement site located on an island in Loch Olabhat in the Outer Hebrides, Inverness-shire. The site comprises the remains of structures dating primarily to the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods, representing occupation spanning several millennia. Archaeological investigation has revealed evidence of settlement activity and material culture characteristic of these early periods, though the precise nature and extent of occupation phases remain subjects of scholarly examination.
