NF 101 991 As part of the Management Agreement with Historic Scotland, the monuments in Village Bay were recorded and monitored. Stretches of the head dyke were photographed, as were a number of cleits. Sections of walling, cleits and cleit roofs were repaired, and drains cleaned out under archaeological supervision by members of volunteer work parties.
Coastal erosion was monitored, which indicated progressive erosion along the NE section of Village Bay.
A small exploratory excavation to determine the method of build was carried out within Blackhouse X.
Report to be lodged with the NMRS.
