Description

Four or more kelp pits are exposed in the coastal section between PWT60 and PWT61. They are straight-sided and are lined with stone. They measure up to 0.75m in width and are, on average, 0.4m deep. Most are filled with blown sand and loose stones. The soil surrounding the pits cuts is scorched and discoloured. Concentrations of rounded stones which are also visible in section may be part of kelp-working areas.
