Undated linear stone dump, off the coast at Bradwell-on-Sea (EHER 16791)

A very long linear feature, defined by stones which were probably dumped. It may be a ballast dump, or could be a modern feature.

February 1996. Field observation, possibly by aircraft. A very long linear feature, defined by stones (average about 0.5m) which were probably dumped, and recorded by local amateur archaeologist Kevin Bruce. The feature, at one point, runs over the timber complex EHER 13790. <1> The stone dump takes the form of a long sinuous linear feature running below the Low Mean Water line (LMW), and remains as yet, of unknown function and date. A ballast dump has been suggested, however it is possible that it is relatively modern. <1> <2> It can be seen on aerial photographs <3> <4>.
