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 steep grass-and-bracken covered slope above the rock-beach a length of field-wall runs E-W. The wall is 3.15 m long by 0.8 m wide with clearly defined faces, and is made up of a core of smaller angular stones faced with larger stones. The stones are evident by probing for c 1 in beyond each visible end, but otherwise the wall seems to end abruptly. This may have been a dismantled field-wall. <1>
