Two nausts and two sheds together on the coas. One shed survives only grass-covered footings c. 7m in diameter. The other is roofless, but otherwise intact, 10 x 5m, up to 3m high at the gables. The walls are mortared and externally rendered. On the coast, directly in front of the modern shed, a naust extends into the intertidal zone, measuring 14 x 8m wide at the seaward end and contains a dilapidated wooden boat. The sides of the naust are defined by revetted drystone walling. A second naust lies nearby, also revetted. This has two areas, possibly summer and winter nausts. The lower, summer naust extends into the intertidal zone, some 15 x 4m; the higher, winter naust is cut into the bank and aligned at right angles. It measures 8 x 2m.
