Description

(i) A noost, 6m long by 2m wide, is cut into grassy banks at the tip of a small headland. It has revetted drystone walls, which stand up to 1m high, and a pointed end. The interior is overgrown. (ii) The remains of a rectangular structure survive to a height of 0.75m. It measures 8m long by 2.5m wide and adjoins a boundary wall which runs parallel to the coast edge. A single doorway leads into the interior which contains two slabs which project from the back wall and may have formed a bench or cupboard. The interior is very overgrown.
