Information from RCAHMS (SAH) 24 April 1996
This fishtrap - caraidh - runs west from the far end of the new jetty, cutting off an area between low and high water mark. <1>
Note; a structure approximately 7 metres wide and 30 metres long stretching westward from the bottom of the pier extension is visible on Aps. The structure appears to be too substantial for a fish trap and is more likely a breakwater. (TB 24/10/25)
