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 rocky stretch of the coast at the E side of the bay, is a concrete pier built onto the natural outcrops which project into the water. The pier is 1.5 m wide and runs to the NW from the coast, before turning to run west and terminating in a 3 m wide section at the seaward side. There are two iron mooring-rings in situ at the end of this broader section. The pier is approached at the landward end by three flights of steps from the terrace above. There are small patches of the concrete fabric which are eroding through general weathering.<1>
