NH 873 768 Archaeological monitoring was carried out while

a trench was cut W of the chapel enclosure (NMRS NH 87 NE 6)designed to take a concrete foundation for the reconstructed Hilton

of Cadboll stone. The trench comprised a hole more than 4msquare in plan and with a depth exceeding 1m. A geophysical survey indicated the possibility of wall lines in this area.

The low ridge of material into which the replacement Stone of Cadboll is to be inserted appears to be a bank of wind-blown sand that has accumulated against the W side of the chapel enclosure.
