Section of ship’s timber observed and photographed on 11 June 2018 by the EU-funded CHERISH project (RCAHMW) during a coastal monitoring visit.

The timber was embedded in the sand at a height of -1.38m. It is slightly curving measuring 3.54m long by 0.16m wide.

The timber lies in close proximity to the wrecks of HMS Ann (NPRN 240375) and Horatio (NPRN 421667) and may be associated with one of them. Both are noted in the record as ‘not confirmed at this location, but may be in the vicinity’.
