Visited 2009. At 4644733073 is a signpost, fashioned from half a tree. The post displays a coast path sign, and a recess and pins for two earlier signs. Nearby at 4643833064 is a second D-shaped post, adjacent to a gate onto the Burrows. These signposts are almost certainly post-World War II in date and are associated with public access to the Burrows.
Good condition - in use.
