Cave with internal and external walls and door jamb, at Doire na Drise.

Doire na Drise was surveyed in 2013 by Rough Bounds Archaeology et al. Site 14. Behind Site 13 (MHG59755), a few metres to the north in the cliff, is a long narrow cave over hung with ivy. A wall extends on the east side of the entrance with a substantial upright stone as a 'door jamb'. Shell scatter lies on the floor of the cave which extends to possibly 10 mtrs but is only a couple of metres wide. A tumbled wall across the approach of the cave about 2 mtrs away was observed along with a further wall about 4 mtrs from the cave entrance. Site not visible on aerial photographs so location approximate. [HHER/RBA]
