Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1961 line 8: 6703 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1967 Line 31: 0999 Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1985 Line 10: 0044 These three surveys clearly show a group of presumed barges on the east side of the promontary at Ham Ooze. They all lie end to the shore in a roughly south-west - north-east orientation. The narrowness and sharply pointed ends of the remaining structure may indicate distortion of the remains. They cannot be seen on the 1990 survey. Identified during 2002 survey and comprises a wooden vessel with metal fastenings, carvel built, with a possible prop-shaft and is in good condition (1).
