Archaeology Notes

NG85SE 21 Centred on 873 549

NG 873 549 An area of dense rhododendron thicket has been cleared near the old track as access to a small fish farm. Footings of three drystone buildings were seen: (a) 6m by 4m; (b) 10m by 4m; (c) 5m by 4m; the stones were tumbled inwards in all buildings.

At the western end of the bay (NG 872 551) are two buildings, one with two compartments and up to five courses (6m by 3m and 2m by 3m), the other measuring 4m by 2m. This site is also heavily infested by rhododendron. Down near the shoreline is another small bothy.
