NG81370 11715 Site identified during an archaeological survey by NOSAS in 2006. A deserted settlement was noted during a reconnaissance trip in May 2006. There are approx 8 buildings in the main cluster on the north side of the island. There is also a fine well and a small corn drying kiln. The buildings are in various stages of natural decay. The best of the low ground, c.1.5 hectares, is enclosed by a substantial stone wall and on the east side of this field there are several more small buildings and animal pens. There are cleared landing places on the N, E and W sides of the island, all located towards its east end.
