58 53.657 N 2 53.910 W The site was assessed by side scan surveys using a pole-mounted towfish and diver ground-truthed. The side scan images show a broken-down contact in shallow water, measuring 115m long by 12m beam. The remains are oriented east to west with the bow to the west, parallel to the shore, approximately 7m away from Churchill Barrier 1. It is not possible to determine how proud the vessel stands off the seabed from the images as the water depth is too shallow; however, at present no portion of the wreck is visible above water in any state of the tide.
