Undated midden.


A midden of animal bones, of possibly Iron Age date, was uncovered in the course of extracting sand within the curtilage of a house being built in 1923. The sand deposit was found at a depth of 3.3m below ground level and appeared to be associated with a raised beach of not later than Neolithic date.


Within the deposit were three layers of fine red gravel and small flinty stones containing remains of ox, pig, sheep and red deer, the last included a rib with signs of human working. The origin of the material was uncertain as it may be redeposited or insitu.


L.S. Garrad compared the site with Perwick Cave (PRN 0055) and suggested that it might be of similar, that is, Iron Age date.
