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.
Visible in an eroded section at the SE side of a tidal-creek feeding into the Kyle is a deposit of boulders and large slabs protruding from below the turf-line. This extends across 0.8 m and is 0.6 m deep. This area is submerged at high-tide. There is too little of this feature visible to ascertain its origin. <1>
