I G Whittaker 1998.

The location assigned to this record is essentially tentative, being derived from the unverified location of loss that is cited by Whittaker. Cromor or Cromore Bay is not noted as such on the 1997 edition of the OS 1:50,000 map, but the name presumably applies to the pronounced bay to the W of Cromor village, and in front of it.
