What is recorded here

Annoyingly, the sea keeps taking them back. Walls appear in the dune face after storms, hint at old fields near the axe factory, then vanish again. Whatever lived there kept getting swallowed by the Atlantic.

On a dynamic, SSW-facing storm beach and in proximity to a prehistoric axe factory (CL008A010----). Noted in February 2008 by Mr Simon Large, former Clare County Archaeologist (RIP) and described as several wall structures visible in section in the truncated (by storm action) face of a sand dune and interpreted as field divisions indicative of possible early settlement in the area. The features, by turn obscured and/or eroded out by recurring storm action, occur at a significantly higher level within the dune system than the axe factory (pers. comm. Mr Michael Lynch).
