Abstract:		 The results of the archaeological work have shown that the complex developed gradually from at least the 17th century when two adjoining cottages were built (Building 1). These cottages were later combined to create a single house, possibly during the 18th century. A fish cellar, used for salting and pressing herrings/pilchards, was then added on the western side of the cottages/house during either the 17th or 18th century. At the beginning of the 19th century a lime kiln (Building 5) was added on the western side of the fish cellar which was shortly followed by the construction of a second lime kiln (Building 6) built within the western half of the fish cellar. At this point the greatly narrowed former cellar was converted into two buildings (Buildings 2 and 3) associated with the use of the lime kilns. In the late 19th century the lime kilns were abandoned and the associated structures within Buildings 2 and 3 were converted for another use possibly as net lofts and storage. At the same time a lean-to shed or storage building was added to the eastern end of the house. At some point during the 20th century the house was abandoned and converted along with the lean-to and Building 2 for use as boathouses.
