BY38. Boat-shaped setting, raised on natural mound 10 x 5m, looking S/SE out to sea. On a relict wall line which curves in shallow S to incorporate the setting in its line.
P Foster 1992; NMRS, MS/595/7.

BY38: Boat-shaped stone setting. Natural prominence on slope to south cliff. Oval, 10 x 5m, single cell of stones spaced in outline, well-embedded into a slight mound. A field wall down to the cliff edge uses one site of the boat setting in its alignment. Stone for the wall has most likely been robbed from the monument.
Branigan & Foster 2000, 135
