Description

1} Labyrinth carving on a flat outcrop, just above the high-water margin, on the west edge of the Heysham Coast.

The carving was first reported in 1995, but had visibly eroded by 2008. It may be recent in date. See section 2.5.1 of this report for further details. The NGR was confirmed in February 2016 by National Trust volunteers Mark Simpson and Mike Mitchell (Arrowsmith, P. 2016).
