This site, situated on a low-lying promontory that extends from the eastern shore of Loch Lomond, comprises the remains of a rectangular building, probably of post-mediaeval date, standing within a thick-walled oval enclosure. Information from a member of the public alerted HES to the existence of iron slag that was visible in a tree-throw approximately 10m NE of the enclosure and just above the shoreline. The following description derives from a visit to the site by an HES Field Officer and Casework Officer on 8 December 2016.

The slag appears to be part of a relatively small and restricted area of in-situ dumping or middening that has been deposited directly onto the stony beach. No other archaeological features were observed on the date of visit.
