Archaeology Notes

N088SE 8001 c. 881 848

N56 57.3 W2 11.7

NLO: Strathlethan Bay [name: NO 881 848]

Stonehaven [name: NO 878 855].

Location formerly entered as NO 8809 8492 (N56 57.3 W2 11.75).

Formerly also entered as NO88SE 8017.

Possibly on map sheet and/or beyond Scottish waters.

(No classification or cargo specified: date cited as 19 November 1916). Isa Fiord: wreckage washed ashore in Strathlethen [Strathlethan] Bay.

(Location cited as N56 57.25 W2 11.67).

I G Whittaker 1998.

(Location entered as NO c. 881 848 [N56 57.3 W2 11.7]). The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary. Both the location and date cited by Whittaker evidently refer to the reported discovery of wreckage, which most probably derived from a vessel which foundered and broke up offshore, possibly beyond Scottish waters.

Strathlethan, Strathlethen or Strathleven Bay is a pronounced indentation to the South of Stonehaven. It is fringed by extensive rock exposures.

Information from RCAHMS (RJCM), 30 October 2001.
