In an exposure created by coastal erosion there are traces of structural remains. The exposure is approximately 10m long and is located 8m above the level of the beach. There are columns of masonry and occasional edge-set stones in the section, but these could not be further examined due to nesting fulmars. There is a slight rise in the ground level behind the exposure, suggesting that there may be further buried remains inland. There are no clear indications as to the nature or origin of these remains.

As described. Structural remains comprising slab built structures and dry stone walling located towards top of sand dune. Appears vulnerable but not much change since described in 1998.
