In 1985 it shows as the outline of a barge, lying roughly east-west, in the intertidal mud. The site appears unchanged in the 1990 survey. Site photographs (1,2). Remains of vessel still visible in 2004 as two to three strakes of the hull survive above the mud in places lower parts of stem and stern visible. The rudder is still attached, but mostly rotted away. (3)
