Full Description
Scattered wreck material consisting predominantly of concreted barrels. This site is within the designated area of the Rooswijk and therefore could be material related to that site, however this
cannot be said for certain (1)
In 2022, dendrochronological analysis of four timber samples from Goodwin and Downs site 58 (GAD 58) was completed. 'It is possible that these timbers are part of a debris trail connected to the sinking of the designated wreck of the Rooswijk'. Unfortunately, the resultant combined series could not be conclusively dated despite extensive comparisons. (2)
