NT 63709 81255 Edinburgh Archaeological Field Society carried out a ground resistance survey of four 20 x 20m grids on the site of a recorded cairn and pillbox on a prominent mound at Whitberry Point on 29 August 2015. Results showed a sub-circular higher resistance of c19 x 19m with a central U-shaped lower resistance feature. There were also rectangular and linear low resistances to the N and E. This could represent traces of the reported cairn and superimposed WW2 military structure, possibly a pillbox or observation post on the site, given the dimensions of the high resistance anomaly.
