---------------------
This site was recorded by the Scotland's First Settlers project in September 1999. It comprised a lithic scatter on the steep front edge of a raised beach at between 6 and 8 metres OD. The scatter covered an area 15 metres long. The front edge of the deposit is eroding and collapsing. Three lithics were recovered consisting of two flakes of chalcedonic silica and one chunk of baked mudstone (F447-449). <1>-<3>
A walkover survey in August 2009 revealed an eroding bank just above the trackway. An occasional fleck of charcoal was visible in the soil but no finds of flints or worked stone were made during the visit. <4>
