Full Description

Group of horizontal timbers visible in the saltmarsh, lying diagonally, possible remains of sea bank. Triangular timbers jutting out from sea defences. Whole stretch lined with chalk and rubble, suggestive of defences. Also small jetty (?) amongst triangular timbers. Last part of stretch reinforced with concrete blocks at later date. See also ADB 084. Also in Friston parish. Unsure where it ends - may go round whole length of existing wall but can't always see under concrete. Concrete rubble continues into Friston and certainly timber/rubble still present (S1).
