1 5. SURVEY MAPS OF NORTH UIST MAP 1: BERNERAY CAUSEWAY TO ROGH Hinterland Geology and Coastal Geomorphology: The island of Bernerary measures 5km long and 3km wide. The southern portion of the island is dominated by Lewisian Gneiss. A major fault crosses the middle of the island and demarcates a zone of abundant metasediment which has been vulcanised. A small band of Archaean Age granite forms an isolated block on the south side of the fault. Tertiary activity is represented by three dykes that trend more or less northsouth well into the interior of the island. The north-eastern point of the island overlooks the Sound of Harris and is underlain by Lewisian Gneiss. The familiar grey Lewisian rocks outcrop irregularly as low reefs and rock slopes on the east coast and rise to three rounded hills, the highest of which, Beinn Shleibhe, is just under 100m high in the north-east corner of the island. Two major bays indent the irregular south, east and north coast. In the south Loch Bhuirgh is a tidal strand and represents the drowning of low wet machair land at some time in the island s history (Ritchie 1970). Loch a Bhàigh, further north, is a natural harbour and is afforded protection on all sides by rock reefs and islands. The hinterland cover soils within this section of the island are dominated by drifts derived from the parent Lewisian Gneiss, and poor drainage and high rainfall produce mainly shallow peatygleys among the outcropping rock that is exposed at the surface. At the north-eastern tip, raised beach deposits of blown calcareous shell sand are present with machair formation. Taraloch Beach has a wide sandy foreshore backed by high sand cliff. Erosion Class: The south-east trending inter-tidal rocky platforms are affected by gradual erosion. In areas where thin humus iron podsol soils mantle the glacial till, such areas are easily affected especially when overtopped at the MHWM. At Baile (NF ) a short stretch of beach (c.25m) has been consolidated by a dump of building rubble. To the north of this area the dunes have been cut back by wave action and a steep cliff has been formed. The northern section (Cell 6) is affected by active erosion and scouring at the MHWM. Built Heritage & Archaeology: The majority of the sites and monuments in this section are of 18 th -20 th Century date and relate to the crofting landscape, consisting of buildings, enclosures, lazy beds and field boundaries. Nine listed thatched cottages and Berneray Parish Church, which is B Listed, are present. A possible chambered cairn is the only identified prehistoric site. A buried soil and a stone spread of unknown date, but which could be prehistoric, were recorded eroding out of the machair. 17

Irregular rocky outcrops with boulders and shingle Irregular rocky outcrops with boulders and shingle Sand Fairly sheltered bay with exposed intertidal rock platforms. Boulders, shingle and sand are present along an irregular beach. Low cliff backs the cliff. Irregular beach backed by a low cliff. A small freshwater loch is present in the immediate hinterland. Boulder and shingle predominant beach material. Fairly wide sandy beach stretching for the length of this unit. Backed by high dune cliff in excess of 10m high. The hinterland is machair/dune with marram cover. Rock platform Exposed coastal cell with inter-tidal abrasion platforms present down to the LWST. The cliff edge is irregular with both shallow drift deposits derived from the underlying Lewisian Gneiss bedrock and including shelly sands. 18
