Full Description
A number of large stones on the beach had been suggested to be the remains of a stone circle. Site visit by AAS in October 2011 found no evidence of an archaeological site and concluded that these were naturally deposited stones. Site visit in 2022 as part of the SCAPE Coastal Zone Assessment Survey noted only a natural boulder spread.
