In the 1940s a possible midden consisting of a pile of cockle shells 'as if it were an ancient habitation' was recorded (ITA). The exact location of this possible midden is not known. The eroding seashore and the top of the strand on the E side of Coolmain Bay were examined but no trace of a shell midden was noted. There is no local knowledge of a shell midden in this area.
