Description ShoreUPDATE 13 May 2015 The cottages were not seen, but the line of noosts survives at the coast edge, with traces of the drystone lining still visible on the interior of several. They are visible on the satellite imagery and on historic mapping, though only three are depicted on the 1st and 2nd 1:2500 OS maps.
