You see what I mean though?
The big rock on the left looked like it might have rolled or slipped down the slope a little.
There's quite a lot of room up there and this was the only area where there were any rocks.
I'm wondering if it was used as some kind of meeting place or something?

Whilst out there we noticed what looks like it might be a small circle of stones but nothing is marked on the OS map and Google returns no suggestions.

Great spot Ambriel , there was obviously some form of settlement in the area at least from 1st C. AD e.g. Droman . The stones may have been set and if so what for on a tidal island ? Rising water levels etc may mean it was not necessarilly tidal in prehistory but I can't think of any utilitarian purpose they may have served . That stretch of coast in either direction has little in megalithic remains and stone circles and standing stones are unknown for miles . They may well be another "fortuitous arrangement "
