Coastal Zone Assessment Survey, North Uist

A thick band of shell midden material was recorded eroding out of a

small semi-circular erosion area. It was c.0.7m thick with sand visible

beneath it and turf above. There was some stone evident also eroding

out. New erosion at the site was visible. It continues along the coast

where there is shell and a more substantial structure visible eroding out

of the section at NF 70814 71733. An articulated animal skeleton was

eroding out of the section at this point and several bones were collected,

as well as some pottery.
