Summary
Bishop, A (1914) An Oransay Shell-mound—A Scottish Pre-Neolithic Site. Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland 48, pp. 52–108. Contains the passage: ‘Noted “limpet gouge found by the writer on the sands at Balevullin in the summer of 1911”
Note from archaeologist and coarse stone tool expert Anne Clarke: ‘We use the term “bevelled pebble” now. These stones are narrow, elongated pebbles that have been bevelled on the end by grinding and pecking.’ See Clarke, A. et al. (2012) ‘The Tie that Binds: an incised Mesolithic bevelled pebble from Camas Daraich, Skye’, Mesolithic Miscellany, 22(1), pp. 3–9
