The significance of this record remains unclear. In the apparent absence of a specific source, recorded diver survey or remote sensing, it presumably refers to a net snag of uncertain significance.
UKHO chart no. 5011 (1978, revised 1993) notes no wreck at the cited location, which falls 12.5nm NE of Rattray Head in about 60m depth of water. No seabed type is indicated nearby, but there are several inaccurately-located wrecks in the vicinity.
