Following an auger survey on machair overlooking Lunan Bay, excavatons uncovered a pair of early ploughed (with mould-board) field surfaces sealed by sand. The best preserved was not ploughed in regular strips and had no rig formation; the surface below was ploughed on a different alignment, and truncated postholes and a shallow ditch. Pottery, probably early medieval, was recovered from the lower plough-soil.
