A hulk of modern date is visible as a structure on aerial photographs of 1946 onwards within an inlet of the River Exe. The former dutch barge measures approximately 21m in length by 6m in width and is first visible as a recently abandoned structure on aerial photographs of 1946. It remains partly visible as a wrecked structure on aerial photographs up until 1984 and in a stationary position, although is no longer visible by 1999-2000 owing to an overgrowth of marshland vegetation.
