The second excavation on the foreshore, (see NT39NW 31.01 for first) in April, was in response to a report that wave action had exposed a wall a few metres south of Jonathan's Cave. The wall appeared to have been faced on both sides and consisted of a single course of sandstone blocks laid directly on top of bedrock. The wall extended in a westerly direction into the deposits.
