Description

Traces of a stone structure were noted in a 4m long coastal exposure. A fragment of walling, 2m long and 0.5m high, was covered by windblown sand and topsoil. The stones within the walling measured 0.35m by 0.45m, on average. There were no surface indications of this feature further inland, where the ground has been cultivated and improved. 29/05/14 Dumping of horse manure has obscured the section. No sign of cultural material in the vicinity. This is a sheltered bay with hard coast edge. Coastal erosion poses minimal threat.
