099 | This name applies to an old Pier situated on the South-east side of House Bay about 1/2 mile South-west of Cleat It extends in a South-westerly direction about 308 yards, then it turns in a Southward direction for about 220 yards. It varies in width from 24 yards towards the coast to about 66 towards the South end It is now so very much broken down by the sea that it looks more like a reef than a Pier having no appearence of a building whatever From the mass of stones which now appear in confusion it must have been at some remote date a very substantial building It is adjacent to an old Brough which stand on Lamb Ness The General impression is that it was erected by the Picts at the time they inhabited this island. |
