oval stone setting, 6 x 4m, on edge of wave-cut platform. The location, size and nature of the site is similar to T169 (site 48, map 4 - SMR no. 2076) which excavation proved to be an LBA activity site.

VN107 (NL619959) Irregular setting of stone builders and blocks, outlining an oval area 5 x 4 m. This is too flimsy for the base of a hut, and perhaps too large for a shelter. Its location and nature suggest it may be broadly similar to site T169 on Barra which proved to be an activity site producing lithic material dated by C14 to c. 700 BC.
