This site was recorded by the Scotland's First Settlers Project in 2000. It was a small rockshelter, which had little overhang and thus offered little protection from the elements. Nonetheless it contained modern debris such as shoes and glass sherds. It had a rocky floor without a midden. It was not considered to have a serious potnetial for prehistoric occupation and therefore not trench was dug. <1>
