Yes Alan, I have noticed them, I canoed over this summer and had a closer look at the ones around the base of Helsay Point. They seem quite small and I assumed they were there as erosion protection or tide flow diversion as there seems to be an ongoing erosion to the point itself (there is no rock to be seen, Coquet correct me - is it alluvial deposit?). I assumed the wood posts were once at the very base of the point but are now about 20 metres from it as the point has eroded.
