Full Description
Large rectangular level area of stone rubble, approximately 50m x 20 m running parallel to the river. It seems to be retained by upright stakes in places though it follows the slope of the foreshore down to the channel at the riverside edge. A possible hard, but instead may be section of old sea wall? (1)
