(Maritime Fife database no. NS98NW 170.14). This wreck has been identified as the incomplete temains of a small wooden boat of carvel construction; the surviving length and beam being recorded as 7.65m and 2.6m respectively. The vessel may have broken into two halves, one of which has been buried or (more probably) washed away. The dimensions of the frames and futtocks have been recorded and stone ballast is evident.

The wreck lies WNW-ESE in very deep silt and is easy of access, being uncovered between one and two hours either side of low water.
