A couple of photos showing the sand layers unbroken above it. It is probably no coincidence that there is an area of ancient peat and timber on the beach below. Perhaps this an ancient stream, marshy area which as the dunes retreated caused a build up of water behind making the fields waterlogged. A cover was put on the culvert and sand has built up over it ever since (looks like a couple of hundred years old?). Is the stream marked on any old maps Coquet?

And a couple of photos of an impressive ancient tree nearby before it is lost to the sea
