(Area : NF 817 781) Part of a crude wall of four courses with a deposit of kitchen-midden shells outside its base is to be found to the west of Udal, in the steep north edge of Oilish, a little above HWM.
E Beveridge 1911.
'Oilish' is 'Huilish', a promontory to the north of Udal, not west of it as stated by Beveridge. The only crude walling which could be found on Huilish Point was three or four courses protruding from the sand in the south side of the promontory at NF 8246 7860. No trace of any midden material could be found.
