On the E side of Rodil village, within 8 yards of the shore and about 3 fathoms under water, there is a 'circle of stones. .....about two stories high; it is in form broader above than below, like to the lower story of a kiln' (M Martin 1934). It is described as 'a beehive shaped structure,' by Wedderspoon.
