Walls to Kelp Pit at SV 8925 1550
II
Walls to three sides of kelp pit. C18/C19. Uncoursed granite rubble, formerly with sloping sides to pit lined with flat stones.
The kelp was dried out whilst piled between layers of brushwood in shallow pits. Kelping was introduced into the islands in the late C17, and became a vitally important source of subsidiary income. It was used in the manufacture of glass, soap and bleaches.
