Coastal fish weir at the northern end of The Nass is an ancient monument comprising a stone structure designed for the capture and management of fish. The weir dates from the medieval period, reflecting the economic importance of fishing to coastal communities during this era. Its physical remains consist of stone construction typical of fish-trapping installations found along English coastlines, where tidal movement would have been harnessed to funnel fish into contained areas. Such structures represent significant evidence of medieval marine resource exploitation and demonstrate the sophistication of medieval fishing technology and practice.
