There were two pieces of white laminated wood, either having been washed down or perhaps dumped there at the site. One piece was circular (about 1.5 metres diam.). It looked like a table top, but I could see nowhere that any legs might have been attached. The other piece was similar but just a half; and no sign of the other half (see photos)
Signs of previous high water levels, after heavy rains earlier in the month.
pH was a bit high.
