Full Description

Tentatively described as a roundhouse / sheiling type structure. This is a sub-oval mound with the remains of turf walls (heavily degraded) approx 4m diameter, comprising almost entirley of turf l with occaiasional stone visible. It is located at the end of the headland of a small tidal bay. Location gives the impression that this was a site for temporary occupation, presumably for exploiting the marine environment.
