Abstract: |
Cotswold Archaeology was commissioned in February 2016 by Historic England to undertake a marine assessment for possible de-designation of the Langdon Bay designated wreck site. A total of c. 360 bronze artefacts have been recovered from the site and the wreck is believed to be the remains of a middle Bronze Age boat carrying a cargo of scrap bronze from continental Europe to Britain. The number of bronzes recovered from the site fell significantly after 1983, and there is little evidence of archaeological investigation of the site after 2002. The wreck was designated due to the unique archaeological resource represented by the bronze artefacts recovered from the seabed and the potential threat posed to the site by salvors. This assessment and report are based on, and present the results of, desk-based research and diver survey. |
