November 2005. Norfolk NMP.
An inter tidal structure in Breydon Water is visible on aerial photographs (S1). This structure is located at TG 4790 0682. A curvilinear structure extends for 230m on a southwest to northeast alignment between TG 4782 0674 and TG 4799 0690. This is probably a timber structure but it is not possible to determine its form. It is possible that it is part of a fish trap or some type of revetment. It is only clearly visible on aerial photographs dating to May 1970 (S1) and it is not known if any part of it survived after that date. It was not observed during the Norfolk Rapid Coastal Survey. Similar inter tidal structures are recorded 1km to the northeast (NHER 42171, NHER 42171 and NHER 42173).
