Full Description

Sandaig, overlooking the sea to the south of the peninsula, was a significant settlement of at least eight sub rectangular features and several smaller structures possibly used for storage. It was surveyed in 2012 by Rough Bounds Archaeology et al.

Site 13. Degraded oblong structure on the eastern side of a large cutivated area with a gap to the west before more wall running the few metres to the burn. This last section made of large stones rather like a bridge abutment. <1>
