Aerial Photographic Interpretation (16 December 2011)
What may be a roughly circular enclosure has been recorded on aerial photographs (RCAHMSAP 2005) lying just below high water in a sheltered embayment immediately offshore at Cairminis. It measures 18-20m across within a ditch 5-6m across, and it has been suggested that may be a henge (Colls and Hunter 2010, 34).
