Part of a curving wall exposed in the coastal section appears to belong to an oval or sub-circular structure, measuring some 10m in diameter. The wall stands up to 3 courses or 0.45m high and is associated with deposits of burnt bone, charcoal and peat ash lenses. The site is currently being eroded and should be assessed in the near future.
ShoreUPDATE 10 May 2015
As described. Stonework is visible in section, but the coast edge is mostly vegetated. Located in a generally vulnerable area.
Update: 25/04/2019
The mentioned curved structure has a sheep hold built on top of it, which measures c. 5 meters wide. Small areas of active erosion though most of it remains highly vegetated. The mentioned ashy and charcoal layers are visible in the coastal edge.
