Full Description
Remains of a wall, circa 10 m long, perpendicular to the coast recorded in 2022 during the SCAPE Coastal Zone Assessment Survey. Constructed from rounded granite boulders from the beach bonded with concrete mortar. The north face is pointed with cement. The seaward end butts up against bedrock carved into a wall shape. The landward end looks like it was built up against sand. According to local information the wall is a groyne, constructed in the 1930s, in response to erosion of the sandy bays on either side of the Craigewan headland.
