Field Visit (30 June 2012)
What may be the remains of a fish trap, comprising a boulder spread measuring about 26m in length and 4m in width running N from Eilean Dubh, are visible on aerial photographs taken in 2011 (RCAHMSAP). Unlike other traps in the vicinity (NF81NW 6) that are situated within the intertidal zone, this feature lies below the low tide limit and could not be recorded in detail on the date of visit.
