Activities

Field Visit (8 June 2015)

Breakwaters or jetties. Two rough boulder walls c. 10m apart extend from the HWM c. 10-15m into a shallow tidal bay. That to the east may be the end of a boundary or enclosure as it terminates at a point where a field drain, straight enough to be man-made, enters the sea. That to the west has an area of cleared beach on its west side so is more likely to be a boat landing place.
