A possible post built structure is visible on aerial photographs in the inter-tidal zone of the River Taw, centred approximately on SS 54253301. The structure is intermittently visible for circa 170 metres running roughly parallel to the shoreline. The date and function of the structure is unknown, but it may be evidence of a former revetment. The structures cannot be seen on aerial photographs of 1967 or later date, and might have been obscured by shifting silts or destroyed by continued erosion. Site investigation is required to assess their survival and possible date.
