A Norse building survives as drystone walling accompanied by traces of midden in a sand mound. Walling is evident throughout the mound and the site appears to be intact although sand quarrying theatens the seaward side. Pottery was recovered. CAN 035.

A possibly Norse mound, 9.2m E-W x 4m x 0.3m high, slightly higher at the W side with a steeper scarp on the seaward side. Traces of stone within the mound suggest a structure. CAN 036.
