Sitename : Inverlane (part of)

Altname : Burra Sound, Scapa Flow, Orkney

Note : MBES geophysical anomaly of blockship remains at N58 55.587 W3 18.68716 of high archaeological potential. An irregular shaped mound on the seabed, measures around 35 metres in diameter and is about 8 metres in height. It is situated in about 8 metres of water on irregular ground. Due to the nature of the supplied MBES survey data it is difficult to ascertain which blockship these remains could be associated with.

According to Kevin Heath this is part of the Inverlane. The rest of the Inverlane is mixed in with the other blockship wreckage to its immediate west.
