Full Description
Possible fish traps represented by lines of posts/stakes on the shoreline of Bawdsey beach. Became visible in 2015 due to coastal erosion. Current condition not known. Wood is largely pinewood brush. Date is not known but when the site was visited it was thought the wood was not of any great age, perhaps late post-medieval/early 20th century? (S1, S2, S3, S4).
