Method of Fix: Aerial Photograph Interpretation Photograph Number: KCC 1967 Line 35: 1351 One of a group of 4 barges lying at the head of Cliffe Creek. This vessel is narrower than the other craft in the group. They do not appear on the 1985 or 1990 surveys. The later surveys show, however, that this area of the creek has been narrowed by consolidation of the land to the north east.(1) This area is covered by deep creek mud, any remains of he vessel may have been buried or removed.
