Two walls, possibly of modern concrete construction are visible as structures on aerial photographs of the 1940s and 1950s, on the sea cliffs and shoreline, to the south of the former location of the Labrador Inn.
The higher of the walls appears to be revetted on the eastern, seaward side, and might have been constructed as a support for a track or road approaching the Labrador Inn from the south, as depicted on the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25 inch map. The function of the lower wall is unknown.
The higher of the walls is currently obscured from view by tree cover and its current condition is not known. The lower wall is partly visible, partly obscured by coastal rocks and rubble.
