Activities

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.

11 lines of piling still remaining, filling the bay, although obviously reduced in height and maybe numbers since 1998. Highest remaining pole is approx 0.4 metres.No spanning poles or rope now visible.
