Low stone walls curve across a shallow inlet, enclosing still patches of clear water as the tide draws away. The nearest weir has an inward-turning opening, and its guiding walls continue toward the shore. Farther out, another enclosure follows the changing shape of the rocky shelf. Individual stones remain visible both in the walls and on the seabed around them.

The interest lies in the meeting of a practical structure and a moving coast. Water crosses the lowest sections, small ripples follow the channels, and bits of seaweed soften the edges without hiding their construction. Dark foreground rock leads the eye toward the paler headland beyond. The forms belong to the inlet, with their irregular curves responding to the ground beneath the water.
