Description

Two parallel lines of stone visible in plan beneath the grass behind the coast edge, c.1.5m apart and c.10m long, aligned roughly east-west.
Discontinuous alignment of stone with a possible chamber/mound. The stone alignment is 8m x 1m but increases to 2m at the widest point. Looks more like a structure than a wall. Possibly part of Iron Age settlement site excavated on this coast in 1983. Also probably linked to Canmore 10117, likely to be the same site as Canmore 10122.
