Structure and boundary banks.

A rectangular or sub-rectangular structure is indicated by grass-covered wall footings. It is located on short rough grass some 30m from the coast edge. It measures 10m by 6.2m and is aligned east-northeast-west-southwest. The walls appear to be about 1m wide and to be faced on both sides. The north end wall may be curved or bowed, while the entrance may have been set in the south end wall. Two large sub-rectangular fields are defined by turf covered wall footings. The walls adjoin the structure and the fields lie to its seaward side. This structure was previously interpreted as a prehistoric house and field system, but a re-examination suggests that it is more likely to be of a later date and could represent a chapel rather than a house.
