A series of stone rubble fish traps have been identified from oblique aerial photographs taken in September 2007 (RCAHMS 2007), in the inter-tidal area offshore from Murrays farmstead (NS37NW 53) and the anti-aircraft battery (NS37NW 19).

Extending in two separate lines, first in a L-shape from NS 33056 77668 to NS 33081 77279, second, from NS 33467 77139 to NS 33692 77065 to join in a T-junction with a line forming another L-shape from NS 33696 77111 to NS 33899 76995.

The fish traps are depicted on the current OS digital maps at both 1:25000 and 1:2500 scales and are also visible on RAF WW II oblique aerial photographs (F309, 3655 and unnumbered, flown 6 June 1941).
