Full Description
Remains of probably recent wooden vessel just visible above the mud and sand. The top of one strake visible, about 6m long, small chine timber visible at east end, at a near 45 degree angle, suggesting a flat bottom. Probing the mud with a ranging rod suggests only partial remains exist under the mud.(1)
