 Positive identification of the ship has not been possible although the archaeological evidence strongly suggests an early 16th-century merchantman of between 200 and 300 tons burthen.More recent work has been undertaken on the site by the University of Plymouth and 3H Consulting Ltd.The site was resurveyed in 2006 using a sub-bottom profiler and in 2007 using a multibeam echo sounder, sidescan sonar and a caesium magnetometer.
