Description
Found in peat on the southern bank of the Corcrain river. A flat bottomed oak craft with gently rising sub-rectangular ends, and slightly splayed, straight and very thin sides. When found measured 3.5m in length, 61cm in breadth and perhaps 18cm in overall height. In addition to noting tool marks on the hull, there were also two holes which showed careful signs of patching.
