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.
On the top of an old, turfed-over dune-system at the rear of the beach is a large sub-circular depression with a 4 m diameter at top with sloping sides to a 2 m diameter flat base. This feature is up to 1.1 m deep and there is no associated stone evident. This may be a natural feature but may also mark the area of an old sand quarry.<1>
