A small area of reclaimed marshland along the west side of the Colne Estuary and to the south of Fingringhoe. Manorial records indicate reclamation from the Tudor period in the general area. The marsh is enclosed on its seaward side by a sea wall with borrow dyke. The inland boundaries are marked by straight drainage ditches and sinuous former creeks. Areas of stetch cultivation are visible. The marsh is managed through grazing as part of the MOD firing ranges.<1>
