Full Description
The OS 1st edn 25in map (1889) (1) shows a rectangular structure by a path down to the shore at Broadrock; a second structure is shown beside the path further up the slope. The 2nd edn map (1902) (2) shows another structure close to the shore. The buildings may have been associated with a small coastal fishery. The OS 4th edn map (1937) (3) marks the feature higher up the slope as a 'tank', perhaps for keeping shellfish.
