At the top of the beach on the N side of the island, and close to the sewer outfall with which it is probably associated, is a concrete wall. It measures 8.1m in length from E to W by 0.8m in thickness at the flat top and 1.22m in height, with a steeply sloping front face and a vertical rear face. The exposed E end exhibits a vertical steel pole that is embedded in the wall core close to its rear face. Erosion has exposed the foundation of the wall on its N side and on the S, at a level about 0.3m below the level of the top of the wall, there are the remains of what appears to have been a flat area of rough boulders and stones sealed by concrete.
