Full Description

An irregular, long scoop or possible structure shown on the 1st ed map (1853) at the top of the cliff, adjacent to the eroding midden deposits smr no. 308, and aligned north east to south west. There are rabbit holes present here in the cliff and in the west side of the structure. The west wall of this structure is standing to up to 1m in places, and the east wall also for a short stretch nearest the cliff edge. The structure is built from turf and stone, but is hard to discern at the north end, where it is less well surviving. The south edge of this feature is conjoining with the wall or terrace, SABS19 (smr no. 14396)
