NF 097 988 Surface survey of the dolerite screes of Clash na Bearnaich ('The Chimney') produced implements, large stone mauls (originating on the beach), smaller beach-pebble hammes, and waste material from quarries located at high levels (c400ft, 130m) to N and S of The Chimney itself. The quarry faces have suffered from erosion and much of the quarry waste on the upper parts of the scree is now grassed over, though its locations are detectable.
Systematic survey of the structures in the Village Bay area produced numerous mostly broken dolerite implements, some used as wedges in cleitean.
