Full Description
A linear structure can be seen running North to South along the coast in the intertidal zone, to the South of the mouth of Barthorp's Creek. It runs roughly in a straight line, although there are areas along the alignment where the structure is not visible. Its position in an area that is subject to erosion suggested that it may be of Post Medieval date. (S1) (S2) (S3) The structure is partially visible in 1970 and can be seen as an alignment of stakes.
