58 53.921N 3 10.615 W Diver surveys of this site were supplemented by side scan surveys completed as part of a training day.
The side scan image show two pairs of circular contacts which are spaced 56m apart and aligned east to west. The two circular contacts to the west are more broken down than the two to the east which are intact. These contacts are interpreted as being four barbettes which form the lower part of a battleship gun turret. On the two western turrets the aft part of the armoured gun house is visible. There is a debris field between the two sets.
