Voe of North House (6976)
Description
| A fragment of walling is exposed in the coastal section in a low cliff, next to a stony beach. The walling extends for some 2m and stands, at a minimum, to 1.5m in height. The stones measure up to 0.8m by 0.6m, although the average stone size is nearer to 0.35m by 0.25m. The wall is covered by 1m of topsoil. The unusual depth of soil here suggests that the area has been cultivated and the soils enriched over a long period of time. At the base of the section, beneath the wall, a deposit of clay soil possibly containing peat ash was seen. The coastline is actively eroding and the stones are bleached by weathering, suggesting that they have been exposed for some time. |
