In April 1985 during manual peat cutting a lozenge-shaped, white flint arrowhead was found. The find spot was visited by the writers but no features or other traces of an anthropogenic nature were detected. The arrowhead came from an area c 600mm below the top of the second peat run; the base of the peat is at least another 500mm deeper. The arrowhead is very finely made, 64mm long and 23mm wide, and quite unlike any other known from the Outer Hebrides. The finder has donated the arrowhead to the RMS.
