Full Description

Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1990 Line 10: 0020 One of four barges on the 1990 survey. This barge, and that at TQ 8066 6868, are filling a small east-west channel between two marsh islands. They lie side by side in the same orientation as the channel, and this one is the southernmost of the pair. The western end of this barge is either buried or missing and the body of the vessel is filled with mud. Only about 15m of structure is visible. On the 1985 survey (KCC 1985 Line 10: 0048) there are two barges in this location. The southernmost lies slightly east of the position given above for this barge. Visible for its whole length it has an open hold, possibly with a central division. It does not appear to have filled with mud.
