Three rounded wooden stakes right at the low water mark, still partially submerged. The line runs approximately north - south. Stakes are about 0.07m x 0.08m, standing no more than 10cm above the sand and about 5m long, some evidence of horizontal timbers, difficult to give details as the structure is rapidly covered by the rising tide.
