Field Visit (9 May 2024)
HY 65608 27489 Visited during fieldwork by SCAPE. Some coursed slabs visible in a mound of tussocky grass 3m by 2m at coast edge, possibly used by nesting birds or rabbits. Not well defined on coast edge at risk of further erosion. The site is located on the edge of a cliff and behind a barbed wire fence so in precarious position and difficult to access.
