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)
