The anchor is about 400m south of your picture, well up the beach, directly down from the covered culvert photographed and discussed in the WW2 thread. That certainly looks like an anchor chain, perhaps its "linked" to our anchor ... sorry

Could be. But looking in the newspaper archive I get the thousand yard stare there are that many ships lost on our patch. Years ago when I did that lost ships page the local newspaper archive was not online. I thought back then well, I bet I've got most of them....Wrong...I'd just scratched the surface! I think the prevailing current is north to south if that's any help. |

I'd like to see it before nature takes it away again. I'll have a toddle down over the weekend.

Is there a lump broken out of the ring of the anchor? or just a trick of the camera?

There was a lump broken out of the ring last weekend.
As for the current, generally it flows north to south on the flood tide and south to north when the tide goes out, twice daily. The beach is susceptible to shifting sands when due to being in the lee of the island, a good nor-easterly or south easterly sea hits the beach at an acute angle to move the sand south or north along it. Hope that makes sense! |

It's a white mineral filling the cavities/pore spaces of the fossil, almost certainly calcite. |
