Surveying Details
-----------------------------
10 July 1978. An obstruction was found at 57 00 56N, 007 25 20W, lying on an orientation of 022/102 degrees, 100 metres long.
Report by HMS HECLA from evidence on an aerial photo, report dated 28 May 1977.
Hydrographic Office, 1995.
The orientation for this feature appears to have been recorded erroreously and should possibly read 022/202.
From aerial photography circa 2015 a linear structure runs between two islets across the sand, approx 120m in length. A more likely interpretation is a fishtrap.
