A subrectangular earth-cut boat naust (7.3 x 3.5m E-W) situated at the base of a steep slope 200m S of Badenscallie burial ground, with a slipway (33+m long) to the W defining a passage through a boulder strewn beach. The sloping floor in the interior of the naust contains an arrangement of flat stones which may be the remnants of a paved surface or the supports for an internal structure / boat. The naust is respected by a wire fenceline, which follows the backslope of the feature, indicating that the feature was still in use when the fence was erected, probably in the mid-late 20th century. Although there is no evidence of major erosion, this site is in a highly exposed situation at the coast edge and the soil is being washed off a sloping rock surface at HWM. A minor drainage channel is also eroding a small gully along the N side of the feature.
