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 a grassed slope above a sand-and-shingle beach is a dry-stone dyke running NW-SE and following a trackway downhill, although it peters out before that trackway curves to the beach. This dyke survives to 3-4 courses (0.5 m) high and has been replaced by a wire fence. <1>
