Archaeological deposits, possibly representing settlement remains, are visible in two coastal exposures. Together, the exposures extend for upwards of 10m and are up to 0.75m deep. The basal deposits comprise of a linear concentration of flat slabs, laid over an old ground surface; the upper levels include anthropogenic columns of collapsing masonry and soils containing shell and bone. These are buried beneath layers of blown sand, topsoil and turf up to 0.3m deep. Part of the section is obscured by modern rubble, while the base of the section is covered by a storm beach.

The site as described was not seen on this visit, but deep anthropogenic soils containing a piece of worked flint were visible in exposed stretches of the coast edge. Further remains may exist obscured by modern dumping.
