Protected Status/Designation

Full Description
At least 45 sub-rectangular features of uncertain date. The southernmost range of features was a series of eight large sub-rectangular pits aligned parallel to the foreshore. One of these cut a layer of briquetage (see PRN 43342) and three others were cut by groynes. About 40m to the north were four more pits 12m wide. The features are surrounded by wall-like features of dumped material. The function of these features is uncertain, although they bear a striking resemblance to oyster beds recorded in the 19th century by Potts on Hayling Island, Hampshire. A similar range of features have also been recorded by Robinson at Sutton on Sea, where they appear to be associated with medieval features exposed on the beach in 1953. {1}
