Full Description

E 422:
This wall is situated on the western side of the neck of the small peninsula. It is located between two natural stone outcrops directly at the coast. It runs for 8 metres in a westerly direction.
Interpretation: This wall was probably built to make landing with a boat at this small beach easier. It also stops the soil from sliding down between the natural stone outcrops and onto the beach. The date of the wall is uncertain.
