Surviving Evidence (Post-1945)

Group of buoys scattered about a tight bend in the road. At least 11 can be counted, thick undergrowth possibly obscuring more. One lies a few yards away in a field, and at least one other has been incorporated into the infill rubble that provides access into the field across a dyke.

Some buoys have the ironwork exposed in the form of two rings in the apex, others have just a pole socket.
