Information from RCAHMS (FO) 9 August 1995.

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 NW bank of a burn, at the point where it flows out on to the beach, are two rusted iron-posts 0.7 m high fixed into the ground beside each other and 0.04 in in diameter. There is a chain attached to the posts and a piece of rope attached to the chain. These would appear to be mooring-posts and may still be used. <1>
