3 seaward-facing structures, probably boat nausts, c. 5m above HWM with an expanse of smooth gently-sloping rock to seaward. The nausts are composed of upright slabs up to 0.7m high.
C B Buxton 1981.
There are two stone-lined boat nausts lying side-by-side above the high water mark on the south side of Mingulay Bay. The nausts, which lie end-on to the sea on the ENE are defined by orthostatic stones and measure 5.5m by 2.7m and 6.3m by 2.6m respectively. Both are open to the ENE. This site has been previously identified by Buxton (1981) and latterly by Branigan and Foster (2000).
