A stone cist or drain-like structure visible in the lower part of the till section. Two horizontal capstones are supported by a vertically set slab on the south side and rest on the edge of the cut on the south side.
The structure measures approximately 1m wide x 0.5m high.
There is no visible cut for the feature through the till, so it is possible the back edge of the feature that is now visible.
Possible land drain or cist.
The feature is located in the coast edge at the point where there is a break and possible passage through wall 12498.
