Two linear features visible on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards extend into the inter tidal zone of the River Yealm for up to circa 25 metres, from the river bank below South Wembury Wood. The presence of two linear, possibly jetty-like structures, is inferred from the accumulated silt and vegetation. The date and function of the possible structures are unknown but the accumulation of dark material remains visible and possibly extended on digital images derived from aerial photographs taken in May 2007. However it is not possible to view these images stereoscopically to assess if any structural elements are visible.
