The Stone barges are situated on the foreshore at the west end of the site and are the remains of one of the unused Mulberry Harbours that were created for the D-Day landings in 1944. They have always been home to wintering Rock and Water Pipits and act as an important roost site for local Redshanks, Black-tailed Godwits and Dunlin.
