Cultivation and sheilings
Two structures associated with rigging and a head dyke which delimits the rigging. One structure is circular and is of turf construction with internal measurements of 2.5 x 2.5 metres and is being eroded by the sea with the west wall falling into the estuary. The second structure is square and constructed of drystone walls up to three courses (about 0.75 metres) high and is probably a shelter for watching the sheep.
