During an archaeological evaluation of a proposed pipeline route in Janu ary 1993 a trench was dug close to the shoreline within the area selected as the temporary storage area. Directly below the turf a layer of loose angular stonework was located. This material was not waterworn and was interpreted as dumped material. Amongst this, lying directly under the turf, a piece of badly decayed ironware of indeterminable nature was recovered. The trench bottomed out at 25cm on to the natural rock.
