Description
Aligned stones, primarily defining the seafacing wall of a large fishtrap (see NPRN 96666). The trap appears to include at least 3 net sluices of 4-5m width, and where a seafacing wall and back wall could be discerned to be approximately 6m in width. The southern end of the alignment appears to curve around back up the beach. However, the sense of this curve was quite diffuse. It may be the result the overlying of several phases of rebuilding or natural wave scatter.
