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.
Carrying a small burn under the modern road and through a dyke at the west is a dry-stone culvert. This culvert is 0.4 m wide and 0.2 m to 0.6 m high at the opening. The span is carried by a large lintel. The burn enters a canalised channel at the W of this culvert and flows down to the beach. This feature may pre-date the modern, tarmacadamed road.<1>
