Field Visit (1996)
11 lines of piling, roughly parallel aligned across the Bunchrew Bay and extending into salt marsh at W end. Piles are 0.06m x 0.1m in diameter, and are upstanding to about 0.3m. 2 piles are up to 0.7m high and have rope extending from eye holes at the top. Some fallen piles exist which may be spanning wood between piles. A complete pile spanning pole is present and has holes in both ends with plastic rope through one. Pole is 2m long x 0.08m in diameter. Mud and seaweed covered and under threat from bacteria and erosion.
