Full Description
A wooden structure was discovered, edged by uprights, with large quantities of wood laid parallel between it. The extent of the structure was traced for more than 60m. The structure ran between two shingle ridges and seems to have enclosed a triangular area of low-lying ground. It may have been built as a fish trap. Preserved in situ. (1-2)
