The possible wreck of a small boat of probably modern date is visible on aerial photographs of 2012 as a partly submerged structure in the intertidal zone of the River Avon, north-west of South Efford House. The visible portion of the boat is approximately 3.5 metres long. It is not visible on earlier images available to the survey. It is possible this is a non-archaeological feature of natural origin. It has been recorded to avoid future erroneous identification as an archaeological monument.
