Abstract:		 A selection of fishing structures exposed on the foreshore to the east of Magor Pill were recorded and subjected to dendrochronological and radiocarbon dating in order to provide complementary evidence for coastal retreat, and to date developments in fish weir and trap forms. The earliest traps found, dating to the 12th century, comprised arms of closely-spaced, native hardwood stakes with sub-rectangular concentrations of split oak posts at the apices of the arms indicating the former position of basket traps. Later medieval, linear fish weirs, again constructed from native hardwood species, exhibited V-shaped concentrations of stakes along their lengths. These medieval structures were located between 430 m and 620 m from the present sea wall. An 18th century or later date is suggested for post-medieval weirs containing non-native softwoods found between 320 m and 420 mfrom the seawall. A putt weir constructed from Douglas Fir and situated, in part, on the exposed peat shelf fell into disuse in the 1930s and demonstrates the extent of peat erosion in the latter half of the 20th century.
