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.
Running alongside a burn on a steep, grassed slope is a dry-stone dyke which may have served as a revetment to that burn. This has been replaced by a wire-fence. There is a mass of tumbled stone associated with this dyke which stretches for 4 m down the slope. This tumble stops abruptly in a stone-faced section and this may represent the remains of a now-destroyed building. <1>
