HY22NW 19 247 275

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.
