The National Monuments Service's description
At the SW end of Fínis. Midden material, consisting of cockle, periwinkle, limpet and occasional razor shells, is exposed on the ground surface. The main concentration is roughly circular in plan (4m N-S; 3.5m E-W) but shells are visible intermittently over a larger area (12m N-S; 10m E-W). A derelict house and outbuilding are visible to the SSE.
