The National Monuments Service's description
A possible shell midden located directly N of Brandon quay, on the W side of Brandon Bay. A small quantity of shell can be seen in the cliff-face, and there appears to be some charcoal associated with it. However, the position of the deposit high up in the cliff-face prevents a close examination. (information: A. McCarthy)
