I know that it is no longer used and there is a reference to it in the 1975 reprint of the 1968 Shell guide to Essex which describes it as "isolated and neglected, looks over Peewit Island and creeks of Hanford Water." I have looked on OS maps, and scanned the area on Google earth with no success. Many thanks Mary Bryceland (Researching: Walter Batten, master mariner b. Harwich 1820)
