At low tide traces can be seen of a grassy track in the saltings running NE and then turning north to the edge of the burn at a point where small boats could hace reached at high tide. This track was later cut off by a sea wall constructed probably at the time the burn was embanked in 1780. the track would have been replaced by another to reach a newly dug canal at NH 574 455 which was also cut off, this time by the railway in the early eighteen-sixties.

The form of the canalised banks is relatively clear. However vegetative cover is extensive and overgrown. The associated sea wall was not visited as was the landing place.
