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 dunes approximately 150 m NE of Balnakeil House, near an erosion scar in the sand, are the amorphous remains of a possible structure. In an area 6 m long by 4 m wide there are a number of grassed over stone heaps which may represent collapsed walling. There were no other structural details discernible at this site which is under threat from extensive rabbit burrowing in this dune system.<1>
