A human remains call-off contract to excavate exposed skeletal material resulted in the identification of two skeletons which were both positioned on an east to west alignment. Presumed Christian. One skeleton was excavated, the other left, reburied in situ on the beach.
The remains of a substantial building were discovered. No chapel was definitely located.
Steatite, anthropogenic midden material nearby in the erosion section suggest a Viking/Norse/Medieval date.
