NHER 42376 (Monument record) - Site of former jetties and post-built quayside structures

October 2006. Norfolk NMP.
The remains of a group of former jetties and post-built quayside structures are visible on aerial photographs near the Great Yarmouth harbour mouth (S1-S2). The site is centred on TG 5323 0376 and is located on the north side of the Great Yarmouth harbour mouth in-between the Point and the South Denes. The posts are arranged in linear sections, often formed by two rows of posts. These post alignments run from the Denes out into the harbour and are likely to represent former jetties or similar structures. It is also possible that some of the structures acted as breakwaters. Along the eastern edge of the Denes is an area of rectilinear arrangements of posts and it is likely that these are the remains of a former quayside structure. Some of the posts are still visible in 1988 (S3).
