NR 34 63 (area) The final stages of the Islay coastal survey were completed in January and June 2003. A 50-100m strip was investigated around the entire coastline to identify built heritage and archaeological remains. In total, 297 sites were examined, of which 163 represent previously unrecorded features. The coastal geomorphology and hinterland geology were also observed and the impact of coastal erosion was investigated. For the most part, the coastline of Islay was found to be relatively stable but several foci of serious erosion were noted, and archaeological remains were found to be at risk in the majority of these areas.
