Site is as described, the main part of the site comprises of two intersecting lines of upright wooden posts, one straight line running parallel to the coast edge aligned NNW-SSE, the other meets it at its northwestern end and curves to the south. There are further groups and scattered posts in the intertidal zone. A linear stone feature aligned rouhgly N-S crosses the straight line of posts close to where it meets the curving line of posts.
