What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records U-297 [possibly]: Atlantic as Submarine (20th Century)-(1944). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
U-297 was a German Type VIIC U-boat that was lost in the North Atlantic in April 1945, likely due to depth-charging by a British aircraft. It is believed to have been carrying a crew of 50, all of whom were likely killed. The wreck is of historical significance as it represents the final months of the U-boat war in World War II.
