The Pagham 'Cuckoo'

Hi folks -

Tommorrow (Wed) and Thurs a team from Southampton University will be
carrying out an archaeological survey of this WWII site. This is in
furtherance of one of the team's BA dissertation. The intention is to
erect a series of 'control points' (basically rebar driven into the
seabed,
and upstanding about 1.5m) around the site. The 'Cuckoo' will need to
be
'cleaned' so we can locate some datum point on the vessel. All
measurements will then be recorded -CP to CP, Datum to Datum, and CP
to
datum - around 900 measurements we reckon!

We hope to finish the work this week, but weather and tide might mean
us
returning at a later date. If this is so, the control points and
datums
will have to stay in position. We would crave your indulgence by
please
leaving the site as you find it. We accept there will be some
short-term
disturbance to the site - particularly with regard to plant growth -
but
this will soon return. We are not planning a totally asceptic
'Scylla'!.
