Full Description
Doire na Drise was surveyed in 2013 by Rough Bounds Archaeology et al.
Site 14. Behind Site 13 (MHG59755), a few metres to the north in the cliff, is a long narrow cave over hung with ivy. A wall extends on the east side of the entrance with a substantial upright stone as a ‘door jamb’. Shell scatter lies on the floor of the cave which extends to possibly 10 mtrs but is only a couple of metres wide. A tumbled wall across the approach of the cave about 2 mtrs away was observed along with a further wall about 4 mtrs from the cave entrance. <1>
Note; Site not visible on aerial photographs so location approximate. (T. Blackie 6/3/19)
