An open air lithic scatter site was investigated by the Scotland's First Settlers Project in 2000. A surface scatter collected from washed-out animal track, on flank of raised beach platform to north-west of small
stream. There were 26 lithics, most of which were of quartz and quartzite, five pieces of chalcedonic silica and one piece of Rùm bloodstone. Half of the pieces were debitage, 11 were regular flakes and one was a bifacially retouched flake of indeterminate type. They indicate activity in prehistory. <1>
