Full description
University of Southampton, 2018, North Devon Rapid Coastal Zone Assessment Survey Desk-Based Assessment, FID 4375 (Interpretation). SDV361978.
Linear features visible on aerial photographs taken in 2009 and 2013. Eight features, aligned north to south, ranging from nine to 35 metres long. Their alignment does not fit the bedrock or bedforms. The feature is located near to a previously recorded weir recorded as MDV102756 but their spacing does not support this interpretation. It is possible they are modern mooring lines.
