BB37:
A meandering grassy boundary bank runs inland from the coast, visible for over 80m. It is up to 2m wide at the base and up to 0.4m high. The remants of several walls are present in this area. Part of a probably enclosure at NF 75896 55116 is represented by a fragment of drystone walling and a short length of stony bank. This is now largely obscured by a storm beach.
