Previous records describe how a structure was discovered here and demolished sometime prior to 1928. According to a local informant at that time, the structure comprised three compartments in which three human skulls and shell and bone midden were found. On the basis of this, the site has been classed as a possible souterrain or house, although it would be unusual to find human remains in such a context. It is possible, therefore, that the structure was in reality a burial monument such as a small chambered cairn or a complex triple cist arrangement. Now the only remains of any archaeological potential visible in the area comprise concentrations of stones, which are visible in the coastal erosion face. No trace was seen of the midden deposits recorded previously. Ref.: RCAHMS (1946), #440; RCAHMS (1980), #87.
