A possible structure of probable post-medieval or modern date is visible on digital images derived from aerial photographs of 2002 onwards as a partly submerged feature in the intertidal silts on the west bank of the River Avon, east of Linscombe Farm. The feature is in the shape of an inverted ‘v’ and resembles the prow of a semi-submerged remains of a small ship or boat up to four metres in width and six metres in length. Internally the possible structure appears somewhat irregular in plan and it might simply be the remains of a tree which has eroded from the shoreline.
