Description

A large amount of stone is strewn about close to the shore, covering an area 25m by 15m in size. The average size of the stones is 0.35m by 0.5m. While there are no discernible structures, several short stretches of walling are visible and the site gives the general impression of being the remains of a structure. The surviving fragments of walling are mostly double-skinned with loose core infill. The building may have been a longhouse of Norse or Medieval date. It is actively eroding. 20/05/15 as described but not actively eroding
