Full description

Mostly buried wooden timber and scattered iron fittings. The timber is quite squared though abraded, about a 1m length of it is visible. As it is so buried cannot determine the section measurements, although it is 0.05m wide on top. One iron fitting is a large bolt apparently in the wood below the sand. Overall the scatter is about 10m across. (1)
