Field Visit (1999)
Two boat noosts are set into the banks at the head of a shingle beach. Measuring 2m long by 1.5m wide, they are now disused and overgrown. A coastal exposure which extends for c.35m from the south side of the noosts contains a concentration of stone which may be part of a surface or wall, possibly associated with fish or kelp drying. An OGS is also exposed in this section. Ref.: RCAHMS (1980), #227.
