Description
A circular mound of musselshells, with oyster, cockle and limpet, 8.0m in diameter and 0.8m high. One of three similar mounds, forming an equilateral triangle, c.10m distant one from the other, set in a sheltered depression amongst high sand dunes. Investigation of a midden in this area in the e.20th C. produced some bone and 12th-14th C. pot in addition to shell.
