I get the feeling the masts are for speed trials of shipping? - I don't know where I got that idea from though.

Helsay Point is interesting. There is a double line of posts approx 4" square each, visibly extending for 30 metres in a roughly east west alignment.
Any ideas? I thought it could be to prevent the stream from the caravan site side cutting into the point at low water? Equally, they could be the base for a jetty, but the water is very shallow at this point even at high tide.
Now they are a mystery. Never seen them close until now. Could be some sort of mooring/ quay for grain as Alan thinks?

wonder if the sediment has built up over the years?
