Abstract:		 The evaluation at the site, a putative Bronze Age hearth/burnt mound, was carried out following concerns regarding erosion. Features of archaeological interest lay within or immediately below the peat layer and several flint implements were found indirectly associated with the complex. Radiocarbon dating of charcoal from the 'hearth' suggested it dated to the late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age. The 'hearth' had been substantially effected by erosion and a previous evaluation revealed that most of the exposed timbers had been destroyed by a rapid acceleration of coastal erosion, although the burnt layer still appeared considerable. The surrounding topography was surveyed using GPS and a further putative hearth was discovered exposed in the cliff face some 65m to the north of the evaluation site. Two trenches were also excavated which examined the deposit of burnt stone visible in the section and one of the extant timbers. All archaeologically significant deposits were analysed. [Au(abr)]
