Full Description
RCAHMS Canmore description:
The principal purpose of this research was to assess the evidence for Norse settlement implied by the place-name evidence. This survey aimed to identify all the visible archaeology. A walkover survey was undertaken 19–25 April 2008 of the glen to a height of between 50–400m, depending on gradient. The fields and coast at Camas na Croise and headland of Ceanna Mor were also surveyed.

Although further information has never been forthcoming, the platform would appear to be a grassy feature a few metres to the northwest of the given grid reference visible in vertical aerial photography taken in 2016. <2>
