GPS points 2m to north of cairn. Possibly under turf so dug out cairn like others before me. Found half a brick and dug down 20cm through soil and rock, then hit basement. Might need shovel for full excavation. The area used to be a herring processing factory in its hayday.

Crossed about 75 mins before low tide. A bit of rock hopping to avoid narrow but deep channels. Plenty of time for a thorough search but nothing found. Possibly a victim of encroaching vegetation on the extensive rock slabs at summit area.

no sign of plate (or anything bolt like); GPS indicated at or near cairn marking highpoint of tidal island, extensive area of rock slabs; also searched under cairn. crossed about 30mins before low water on a neap tide, just about dry shod keeping close initially to pillar of former bridge; some other signs of what was presumably harbour defences.

tidal channel and old bridge support crossed OK 30mins before low water; not too much leeway on a neap tide

On tidal island. Rising waters were threatening to cut me off so my search was perhaps not as thorough as it could have been
