A stone 6in long and worn by rubbing, shaped like a saddle-quern, is said to have been found in a midden deposit to ENE (of OR 680). [R1]

Sand cliff some 3m high from bottom to top, near top of which are some fragmentary drystone walls and a thin shell-midden deposit. The lower half of the cliff is concealed by slumped turf and some stonework visible among this turf near the foor of the cliff, may have slipped down from higher up; so the overall thickness of the deposit cannot now be ascertained.
