Archaeology Notes

NM56SE 17 5947 6160

(NM 5948 6158) An unroofed structure was shown here in 1875. It is possible this had been used by a fisherman using the sheltered bay to the south. The cave described in the Gaelic name may have been used for storage or as an earlier occupation site. This has been a desk assessment area.

J Wordsworth, SSSIs, Scottish Natural Heritage, 1993

One unroofed building is depicted on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyllshire 1875, sheet xxv), but it is not shown on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1974).
