A 'few years' before 1791 a logboat was discovered in a raised moss in Tinwald parish at an altitude of about 15m OD. It was discovered at a depth of between 4' (1.2m) and 5' (1.5m) during peat-digging and was noted as being 'of considerable size'. It was destroyed without detailed examination.
Stat. Acct. (1791); D Wilson 1851.
