Description
| Cut into a grass and bracken covered slope at the edge of a shingle-beach, is a rectangular structure. Internally this measures 12.2 m NW-SE by 5 m, the back standing to a height of 0.85 m. This is cut into the slope and the walls are faced with dry-stone. There are a few stones to the NW of this, which is probably tumble, and the SE wall has partly collapsed into the structure. The building stands open to the beach on its SE side with the NE wall partly continuing beyond the end of the dry-stone construction by a rib of outcrop. This was probably a boat-noust or shed. There is no evidence for erosion from the tide, the building instead suffering from natural collapse. This building recorded as new site 12558 in ShoreUPDATE survey of 26/05/2013 |
