The SW facing coastline of the Vallay Strand was inspected in order to identify sampling sites suitable for assessing former sea-level and landscape change, in order to provide a context for the excavated sites along the Strand. Three sections were sampled for palaeoenvironmental analysis.
A Data Structure Report will be lodged with the NMRS.
