A boat-stall.
(Undated) information in NMRS.
NR 347 443 On the shore near several clearance heaps are 2 cairns side by side, about 9ft and 7ft wide respectively. One is completely, and the other is partly grass covered, the later showing stones of the same size as those on the clearance heaps. The location of the cairns suggests a purpose other than clearance.
