Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1961 Line 4: 2194 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1967 Line 34: 1292 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1985 Line 7: 0130 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1990 Line This barge is not double-ended. The hold is open for the whole length and there is a small covered area in the bow. On the 1967 survey its bows are less easily defined. Against the background of intertidal mud in the 1985 survey it is difficult to establish the extremities, but on the 1990 survey it appears to have neither bow nor stern. The overall length is reduced to around 15m.
No visible remains in 2004. (1)
