Field Visit (21 July 2009)
NM 6628 4444 A small, curved jetty used for the shipping of cattle was surveyed on 21 July 2009. The site is linked to the main road and the cattle market beyond by a loaning (double walls allowing the cattle to move without damaging arable fields). It is situated on the Sound of Mull opposite a pair of similar curved structures at Fishnish, previously reported but not at that time identified (DES 2007, 58). We are grateful to Iain Thornber for pointing out this link between the two sites and the cattle trade.
