Description
A long linear series of possible oyster beds running from TL900 032 to TL909045. While these cannot be seen on 1946 AP coverage, it is possible that they are merely submerged and therefore not visible. The features do not appear on the OS 1st ed. <1> - <7>
The oyster pits can be seen on Google Earth imagery from May 2024. <8>
