Description

Landing-place on the Gunfleet Estuary, accessed from Wood Lane, Little Clacton. The lane widens into a triangular shape at the end. This site is presumed to represent a landing-place on the estuary, although it is probable that there must have been a further length of track originally linking it to the estuary itself. <1>
