Edges of plank irregular, with notches and protrusions. Large, cleft oak plank, oriented E, W, 5.6m long, 76cm wide, 5.5cm thick. Set in fen peats, 2m S of the edge of the intertidal peat shelf. Tangentially cleft from a massive, knotty oak trunk. The plank was worked to a blunt oblique point at its W end, cut directly across at its E end. Side edges quite thin and 'feather-edged', owing to splitting of trunk.' See attached Google Earth orthoimage Compiled by: Alison McQueen and Vera Rahilly Date of upload: 19 June 2020
