Near the south shore of vallay there is a large cattle-fold where drifting sand occasionally reveals slight traces of at least three buildings, together with layers of peat ashes and kitchen-midden remains. The finds include a fine bone weaving-comb and bone pins, needles and borers, and pointed tines and antlers, bronze pins, needle and brooch fastening, Viking-type iron rivets and lumps of slag, hammerstones, whorls and pottery fragments. (E Beveridge 1911)
Finds in the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (NMAS).
