The site covers the area of 200 m2 - 25 meters in length and over 7 meters in width. Mainly the bottom part of the structure survived. The keel was recognized, as well as the elements of cross beams – floor timbers/frames, 8-cm-thick staves of planking, 3-cm-thick staves of formwork and fragments of mast, bilge pump and stem. The elements of structure were connected with the use of treenails.
