Abstract: |
Following contact from a member of the public, a rescue recording was undertaken on two wooden structures on the foreshore of the River Severn at Kingston Pill. Preliminary measurements and photographs were taken due to the structures being exposed. The structure consisted of two exterior and three interior rows of wooden posts, aligned north to south, with the posts inserted vertically in the ground. Other horizontal timbers in the same alignment and parallel were recorded as well as lengths of birch twigs. The structures were located in an area marked 'Saltings' on the c.1925 Third Edition County Map. The main structure was interpreted as a possible jetty or fish trap of unknown date. [AIP] |
