Thanks for the links.

I'd certainly agree on the difficulty in
discriminating between natural and man-made features in this type of
area, but the regularity of the features in question (I spotted
perhaps 10, widely spread) suggests the latter must surely be the
case. I've attempted, in lieu of a photo, to sketch one :-)
Apologies in advance for the poor draftsmanship -- see

No poor drawing at all
That certainly looks artificial. They must be localy known.

Yes, I thought that too but I couldn't find anything in the local
history books about them. Lots about structures and trackways across
the platform associated with the shipping of ironstone, but nothing
that fitted with these structures.

You made me curious.

I shall take my camera this weekend and see if I can get some good
photos. I have to admit I'm perplexed... Any speculations very much
welcomed!

Cheers,

Tom

Tom,
to me it looks like a fishing corf. Been trying to find a photo of an alike
structure I have seen within a small river here. Remember I was told that
there had been a cage made from willow tree branches above. Seen
speculations that it was to catch salmon or eel. In the later case the word
used was eel-barrel....
