Type and Period
Description
1990. Watching Brief.
In June 1990 a member of the public reported seeing wooden stakes in silt on Jaywick Foreshore at low tide. The stakes were set in a rough L- Shape, perhaps a double row set obliquely to the groynes. Those above low tide were substantial 8 inch x 8 inch timbers, the others mostly below water were smaller and more eroded. The pattern suggested an old landing stage or pier older than the present groynes. A location map is attached to the report. <1>. <2>.
