The wreck comprises substantial wooden timbers, likely the remains of a vessel, and is designated as an ancient monument of archaeological importance. The site is of particular significance for understanding maritime activity and shipbuilding practices in the medieval or early modern period, though precise dating and vessel identification remain subjects of ongoing archaeological investigation.
