NM 6583 4437 The Sound of Mull field school undertook a monitoring survey on the site of the John Preston on
13–24 July 2009. We recorded the exposed timber frames and the keel; planning frames were used to document the distribution of the slate cargo in various locations on the site, and their condition. The position of metal artefacts on the site including pipes, a winch and an anchor was documented and finds including wooden pulley wheels and the sole of a shoe were recorded in situ and recovered for more detailed recording. Once recorded these artefacts were reburied in a known position on the site.
