Gradual erosion of drift cap on sea side threatens vestigial buildings.

There are in the parish at least 5 burghs, which their name and situation prove to have been of old places of defence. Two of these are on promontories at the precipice at Yeskenaby.

(The other is presumably the Broch of Bigging). [R1]
