During the field survey, a coastal strip, including the intertidal zone and 100m of hinterland, was surveyed to establish the baseline condition of all sites and monuments, and record erosion and coastal geomorphology. Seven hundred and thirty sites were recorded, the majority of which were related to the crofting landscape of the 18th century onwards, including boat noosts, blackhouses, shielings, lazy beds, jetties and slipways, buildings, cairns and field walls.
