What is recorded here

One of two small shell middens c. 75m apart. Described by Cuppage (1986, 16, no. 16) as follows; 'Roughly 1.5km from the base of the Inch promontory, and c. 600m from High Water Mark on its W side, 2 small shell middens have been exposed in section, about 75m apart, high up in the face of a large sand-dune. They measure 2.5m long and 0.15m deep and 1.5m long and 0.1m deep respectively, and each is composed of a single layer of shells with some charcoal. Collapsed material from the W midden included cockle, periwinkle and mussel shells, animal bones, a flint flake, and a number of small iron fragments'.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.

The map shows the centre of the officially named townland area, not the monument. The government record does not identify the exact monument point.
