Ynyslas Hulk 3
Primary Reference Number (PRN) : 106559 Trust : Dyfed Community : Borth Unitary authority : Ceredigion NGR : SN6161393943 Site Type (preferred type first) : Post Medieval Wreck Status : Scheduled Monument
Summary : Ynyslas Hulk 3 is aligned with its bow to the northwest and stern to the southeast (as is Ynyslas Hulk 2). At present the bow and half of the port side remain submerged in the estuarine silts, although erosion appears to be speeding up. Objects have been noted within the hold of the vessel, including fragments of slate, stone ballast, a wooden box, a wooden bucket, various iron fixings and a possible cooks stove, complete with cooking pot inside. The vessel is thought to have been a slate carrying hulk and may have formed part of the Derwenlas fleet. It was purposefully scuppered on the bank of the Afon Leri in 1868 to mark the channel (along with Ynyslas Hulks 1 and 2) for other seafarers. It is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (CD282). J. Meek 2015
