1 6. SURVEY MAPS OF THE ISLE OF ARRAN MAP 1: DRUMADOON POINT TO AIRD NAN RON Hinterland Geology and Coastal Geomorphology: Both Permian sandstone and Triassic mudstones are represented in this coastal section. Tertiary basalt dykes also outcrop along the inter-tidal zone. An area of marine sand is present towards Drumadoon Point. The dune area is bounded by impressive sequences of raised marine platforms that occur as far as Kilpatrick Point. Freshwater alluvium is present at the outfall of the River Black Water. The beach morphology at Kilpatrick Point becomes very irregular with wide exposed abrasion platforms. South of this area a series of sea caves within the former shoreline are present and these features demonstrate how the area has been effected by isostatic uplift. Towards Aird nan Ron the shoreline is mainly boulders backed by a high raised marine shoreline. Erosion Class: Coastal erosion was noted from Drumadoon Point to Blackwater Foot. The sandy beach along this length of coast has been protected by gabion sea defence works at the border between the beach and the hinterland. At Blackwater Foot sea defence works have been established along the foreshore and around the small harbour. Two boulder dump breakwaters have been built down to the MLWMST area in an attempt to protect the navigable river channel leading into the harbour. Built Heritage & Archaeology: The majority of the archaeology within this area is dated to between the 18 th and 20 th centuries. There is one prehistoric site comprising a cist, discovered at Broombrae in 1924, though there is no other information available for them. There is one site dated to the medieval period, that of a bloomery mound. Most of the other sites are of buildings which are either still standing today or successive buildings have been built on the same location. These sites concentrate around Blackwaterfoot. Most sites are set back from the shoreline and therefore are not in imminent danger of erosion from tidal action. 107
