Blue skies, no wind, rain.. I question this is Waterford. Lovely day for it and good spot, thanks for upload. Curious if is weir related, using turned wood, don't dispute your assumption but do wonder if could be something washed up, then settled upon shore, part of a local build or boat as examples - If you find out more, I look forward to your new report. Enjoy the Earth - where land meets sea, every tide brings a new story..
Salmon traps? Salmon move up most rivers/estuaries in Ireland along the left side looking upstream. That looks like a great spot to ambush them. Looks like good bass ground as well. Poochers still put out nets along that coast off the shore.
@@tidesntales Likely associated with the Faithlegg Estate? Would have been very big salmons runs through there back in the day. I found a fascinating piece with a map which might be very useful to you on the tides and tales site. Google "White Stone - Cheekpoint fisherman’s foul mark". Scroll down and you'll find a map. Each fishing station/weir was named and a location shown. (You may have read this already!)
That's quite incredible Andrew. There's so much of our coastline heritage lost to time and tide. Happy Christmas to you and yours
Absolutely Pete, many happy returns
interesting🧐
If it is not in the OS maps Andrew it is potentially archaeological and no harm emailing the national monuments. Great to see it.
Thanks John

Its Waterford, the Suir estuary at Cheek Point
It certainly is Marie :)
Very cool

@bogbay most likely a salmon weir, found one listed on the historic maps, but significantly further up...it would be a very long wing if related

Interesting find Andrew, you think you’d know the place 😎😎
Always learning Mark
Fish traps are common enough.
True enough, what's so surprising to me is that I gather local folklore and stories, and despite being reared here, never heard anything of it.
You are correct
