Full Description

Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1961 Line 9: 3927 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1967 Line 29: 1200 One of seven barges lying deep in the mud around the north west side of the island which edges the marsh. The most southerly only appears on the 1967 survey and is more visible than the rest. None can be seen on the later surveys as the area is used for small craft mooring and a new pontoon runs off the tip of the island. Society for Spritsail Research records a number of vessels in this area, (see NMR nos. TQ 76 NW 185-191). These could not, however, be directly linked to the sites on the aerial photographs.
