No geophysical anomalies were identified either of the wreck itself or of any wreck debris at the recorded location.
The site was attempted to be salvaged in 1746 by W. Elliot, R. Hunter & Co, Eschauzier Bro, and G. Innes & Co. Subsequently a small area (reportedly about 5% of the site was excavated in 1979 by J-C Joffre and 350 finds recovered. Site assessments involving fieldwork were carried out by the ADU in 1990 and 2002 (ADU 1990: Report 073). Neither of the reports from these assessments has been seen by WA. A pre-disturbance survey of this wreck by ScotSAC assisted by the ADU in 1990 is reported to have located guns, ingots and scattered artefacts near a flint ballast mound at what appear to be the entrances to two gullies. No ship structure was observed. It is not clear what invasive work was carried out subsequently but it is understood that recoveries were made. None of the work carried out on this site appears to have been published.
