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.

Set in an erosion-scar within dunes at the back of the beach are the fragmentary remains of a structure, probably of WWII date. This is comprised of four concrete posts and some corrugated iron roofing which is no longer in situ but has slipped down the dune. <1>
