Field Visit
A dyke was encountered nearby at NB 03409 31903, running northeastwards downhill from close to the well, along the base oa steep natural outcrop for 45m. This was visible as a very low (0.1-0.15m high), thin (0.1 - 03m) bank with occasional clusters of small irregular cobbles, but became very indistinct at the bottom of the hill above the shoreline. At the point where the grid reference was taken, a much more obvious dyke intersected the first, running at a right angle up the steep slope of the outcrop to the north for 14.3m. This was entirely grassed over save for very occasional small protruding stones but stood to 0.4m in height from the outcrop and up to 0.3m wide.
