Description

A sandstone built harbour is shown on the 1st edition OS map. It was built to export limestone from the nearby limekilns and for importing coal. It went out of use in the 19th century when the sea over ran it. It now survives only as a pile of squared stones some of which form an arched shape. This feature is thought to be the remains of a breakwater pier. This feature is clearly being actively eroded by the sea. This is the same as site 10022, see site record 10022 for ShoreUPDATE survey and photos
