Monument record MWX4108 - Post medieval to modern quay, Russel Quay, Arne

Russel Quay is first recorded in 1761 and appears to have continued in use until the early 20th century. A group of submerged structures and posts are visible on aerial photographs of Russel Quay taken in 2010. They are considered likely to be the remains of the post medieval to modern quay marked here on the First edition OS map.
