Field Visit (7 December 2009)
A possible jetty/unloading area for boats, formed by a line of stones lining the edge of the loch over a distance of 12m, fitting the curve of the bank. The single line of stones is clearly man-made, possibly as a revetment to stop erosion.The stones rise to a maximum of 0.5m from the bed of the loch, with a maximum width of 0.75m.
