Sinah Circle

On the edge of Sinah Lake, in the south east corner of the harbour, a circuit of upright timbers were discovered. Lying upto three metres below the surface of the lake, the site consisted of 28 stakes in a circle with a six metre diameter.

The site was excavated in 1995 by the HWTMA and the University of Southampton. The posts were both roundwood and split timbers and wattlework was uncovered from inbetween. The site is believed to be a fishing structure although their is uncertainty about its date of origin.
