Rescue excavation of a shell midden was undertaken after its discovery during construction work. The site showed evidence of disturbance prior to excavation but it clearly consisted of two main elements, a shell midden containing ‘Obanian’ artefacts and, at the top of this, a fragmentary second millennium cist burial. The main significance of the site lies in the late date it provided for the ‘Obanian’ material. The site was excavated by the Lorn Archaeological Society and the post-excavation work was funded and organised by Historic Scotland
