Salcombe Moor Sand Site
The remains of a wreck carrying cargo of Middle Bronze Age weapons was found in 1977 off Moor Sand, Gammon Head, South Hams , Devon , England. The site was designated under the Protection of Wrecks Act on 14 February 1978. The wreck is a Protected Wreck managed by Historic England [1]
The site may represent the wreck of a prehistoric boat that sunk while carrying Middle Bronze Age weaponry including swords, palstaves, and other materials.[1]
Discovery and investigation [ edit ]
The site was identified in 1977 by trainee divers on a training course in Salcombe . Systematic searches in the following years identified further materials. The last artefact was recovered in 1982.[1]
