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.
At the edge of a field of rough pasture at the SW side of the head of the Kyle is a section of stone dyke or revetment which is visible for two sections of 15 m and 10m separated by a gap of 3.4 m. The walling stands to at least five courses of water-rolled boulders (0.45 m high). This is situated south of a trackway and appears to retain soil on the south side. This feature is very overgrown with grass and moss. <1>
