A gridiron is visible on Epochs 1-4 (1877, 1899, 1908 and 1938) of historic 1:2500 Ordnance Survey mapping [1-4]. The feature is located within Folkestone Outer Harbour. It is still visible on MasterMap (2009), labelled as a hard [5].
A gridiron comprised a series of beams and was used to hold a vessel above the waterline allowing the successful salvage of the hull. The feature measures 64m by 11m and is positioned beside a landing stage (MWX43993).
The feature was given a monument polygon (mapped from the Epoch 4 edition [4]) during historic mapping enhancement as part of Phase 1 of the South East Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey.
