Full Description

NF66SW 11 6346 6159.

There is a concentration of midden material, mainly shell and bone, at NF 6346 6159, close to the shore and in an area of eroded dune. No pottery of any great age was found.
This may be the midden found by Beveridge (NF66SW 4) although his siting does not agree.
Visited by OS (J T T) 18 June 1965.
