Srp Note (28 October 2010)

This structure is situated immediately above the shore at less that 10m above sea level, orientated NNE. It comprises a small turf covered stone platform, roughly 5m x 3.3m, with three upright stones standing about 0.5m high on the seaward side. The platform sits about 0.5m above ground level. Immediately below and slightly to the NW, is a geological dyke which runs NW into the sea and which could have formed a landing place for boats.

Information from Marjorie MacInnes, October 2010.
