SDO14476 - New Sea Wall, Kimmeridge Bay, Kimmeridge, Dorset. Observations and Recording, September 2013.

‘Terrain Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological observations and recording during the construction of a new sea wall immediately south of the slipway at Kimmeridge Bay, Kimmeridge, Dorset. The construction trench for the new sea wall exposed part of the stone facing of a former quay probably constructed by William Clavell in the early 17th century, as part of his alum works. The deposits exposed by the works all post-dated this structure and comprised a layer of beach shingle, sealed beneath later post-medieval and modern reclamation deposits.’
