Full Description
A rapid coastal zone assessment survey was conducted by GUARD in the Autumn of 1997 commissioned by Historic Scotland from the Viking and Early Settlement Archaeological Research Project based at the University of Glasgow.
In a grassed ravine beside a stream which leads to a small shingle beach in a cove between crags is an iron boat winch. This winch measures 1 m by 1 m at the base and stands 1 m high on a concrete plinth. The winch mechanism is badly corroded and inoperable and the cable has snapped. <1>
