ShoreUPDATE 21/10/2015 This is a construction yard and accommodation camp for the Mulberry Harbour Project, part of the D-day preparations.
The complex includes brick and concrete structures in the hinterland, concrete hut bases and large concrete yards. Immediately behind the coast edge is a stone and brick shed. On the coast edge is the platform described in the original survey, constructed of stone and mortar walls standing up to 0.5m high, constructed directly onto bedrock, 1.9m square in plan, capped with a concrete slab roof. Just offshore is a single concrete beetle, a pontoon intended to form part of a floating harbour.
