Description

Several earthfast slabs protrude from the turf at the landward tip of Weather Ness. No clear form or origin could be ascertained, particularly since the surrounding area is covered with hummocks of grass and thrift. This site may be the burial place of shipwrecked men from North Ronaldsay, in common with, or perhaps instead of, WT138. It lies about 3m from the coast edge and is very vulnerable to erosion.

Comments Although this site itself was not seen, the area was visited. The coastline in this area is rock platform, with no evidence of coastal erosion. Based on the nature of the landscape and the coastline in this area, this site is not judged to be at high risk of coastal erosion.
