Full Description
Paul Humphreys is monitoring the condition of the sites on this beach. At the moment they are not apparently exposed. One lies back from the beach under a very deep dune with a channel cutting through it to sea. On date of site visit no obvious finds. NB this area is complicated due to various wind blow, but also used in the past for the decommissioning of boats so a lot of waste scattered about - HAW 7/2003
