Backiskaill HY 4844 5082 HY45SE
In the shoreline above the old jetty at Backiskaill is a row of contiguous nausts, built of turf and erect slabs, 2m to 2.5m wide and up to 5.5m long. The three northernmost open at beach level, and derelict winches stand at the heads of two of these. The three to the S are truncated, with their floors some 0.5m above the top of the beach. To the S, a small limpet shell-midden, probably representing shellfish used for bait, has been exposed by erosion.
