The vicinity of Beachview exhibits both structural and residual evidence of extensive occupation. Excavations at HY 2474 2757 and HY 2477 2759 have yielded evidence of major Viking/Late Norse settlement as have the upper levels of a mound site at HY 2470 2754. Its lower levels may date back to prehistory.
