Description

Observations and recording during construction of a new sea wall. The construction trench exposed part of the stone facing of a former quay, probably built in the early 17th century for William Clavell as part of his alum works. Other deposits exposed during works post-dated this structure, and comprised a layer of beach shingle sealed beneath later post-medieval and modern reclamation deposits.
