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.
On a flat piece of ground above a steep slope to the loch is a platform or terrace which measures 5 m N-S by 3 m. This is defined by a steep slope below crags on the east and on the west by a clear, stepped edge with a 0.25 m drop and stones visible. This lies in a swathe of very green, improved land about 30 m wide which is within an area of bracken. <1>
