This assessment was undertaken on a portion of the island not tested during a previous assessment in 1999 (Excavations 1999, 287, 99E0606). A significant amount of milling activity was undertaken on the island during the late 18th and 19th centuries, evidence of which survives. Six test-trenches were excavated on the site. Material relating to domestic activity on the island contemporary with this industrial activity was revealed in the trenches. No earlier material was revealed.
