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.

Located 3 m from where the cliffs slope to the sea are two heaps of stone which may represent the very ruinous remnants of some kind of structure. The north example is ovoid and measures 2 m by 1.2 m and consists of small fragments of stone about 0.15 m in diameter. The south example measures 2.2 m by 2 m and consists of larger (0.30 m) fragments of stone which are about 0.02 m thick and are stacked in such a way as to suggest that they represent a structural element. The remains at this site are so fragmentary as to make any further commentary impossible. <1>
