Description

A sub-rectangular structure formed of at least 8 uprights. Outlying stones and a small stretch of walling is also visible. Co-ordinate suggests this may be the same site noted in NMRS (NF77NE 36) (site 808), although description of structure is slightly different. ShoreUPDATE June 2015 As described. ShoreUPDATE January 2016 The structure lies around 15m N of the location shown. 3D models of the structure and surrounding site available from these links: Structure: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7QqVX2IsWHJMmtyblpSdVFHejA/view?usp=sharing Site: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7QqVX2IsWHJS0RSOVpFZjQyVXM/view?usp=sharing It's considered unlikely that this site is the same as NMRS NF77NE 36 = SCHARP 9780 as the description for that refers to a 4m high SE facing section, whereas the coastal slope here is barely 1m high (see image). Likely NGR error.

As can be seen from the images the site is inundated at spring high tides regularly, so seems a priority for further investigation and recording.
