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.
At the landward side of a small promontory are the possible remnants of a building. This site is characterised by the top of eight stones being visible through the turf, five of which may form the right-angled corner of a structure. The remaining three stones are placed randomly off this line and could represent tumble. The line of stones is 3 m long NW-SE by 1 m and may be fortuitously-revealed natural stone. Probing revealed a quantity of subterranean stone but dense tree and vegetation cover at the east may be obscuring any further structural elements. <1>
