Private 6"map annotated by T C Lethbridge 1953.
The alleged broch is an elongated rocky islet (only visible at low water) with a few seaweed-covered stones between it and the shore. No trace of artificial construction. From the opposite hill-side it looks like a circular structure with a causeway. No trace of the oyster midden.
