Post-medieval timber mooring post, Ringwood Farm, Wallasea Island (EHER 45878)
Please read our guidance about the use of Essex Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
A rapid walkover survey in 2002 recorded the presence of a large square cut post on the edge of the marsh. The substantial size of the post suggests it was used to tie up vessels. If overlaid on the 1876 OS map the post is on the edge of a channel cut through the saltings. Possibly an access point for Ringwood Farm.
