Stour Estuary

Holbrook Bay Fish Traps

The fish traps located at Holbrook Bay are very similar to those recorded in the Blackwater estuary in Essex which were dated 7th - 10th century (Suffolk County Council 2006). The fish traps survive as rows of posts with patches of wattle work, constructed in V-shapes. Baskets or nets were placed at the point of the 'V' and fish were funnelled down to be caught as the tide went out. Wattle walkways along the walls allowed access at low tide to retrieve the fish and repair the walls (ibid).
