- None recorded
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.
Along the east bank of the river flowing into the Kyle below Kirkiboll are several dumps of small rubble and stones. These occur intermittently along the bank and have clearly been dumped from above - either as clearance from the fields above or in an attempt to revet parts of the bank and probably as a combination of these two things. <1>
