The National Monuments Service's description
Archaeological monitoring (04E0179) of cable-laying in Main Street North encountered a clay-bonded N-S wall (H 0.5m) in the W face of the trench (L 3m) resting on peaty silts that also preserved three stakes retaining planks (L 3.5m) in situ. This is interpreted as a possible temporary sea-wall (total L 10m) (Stafford 2007).
