Sponsor: Historic Scotland
GUARD 1996
A rectangular building platform was noted on the west side of the path up to the lighthouse. It measures about 13m by 9m. It has been cut into the side of the slope about 1m on the north side and built up 1m on the south. There is nothing shown here in the 1st edition OS map.
Site recorded by GUARD during the Coastal Assessment Survey for Historic Scotland, 'The Firth of Forth from Dunbar to the Coast of Fife' 10th March 1996.
This platform may be one of the greens of the golf course that formerly (before the First World War) occupied this area.
