Marine debris of some description is clearly visible on the OS vertical aerial photographs from March 1972 (S1). It is possible that it is the remains of a wreck (date and origin uncertain), but this is unclear due to the limited remains that can be seen on the aerial photograph. However, if it is the remains of a wreck it would most likely date to the post-medieval/modern periods. It is centred on NGR TF7247 4533 and it would appear that the approximate dimensions are 15m by 7m. Also due to the lack of available control points this structure had to be sketch mapped by eye.
