A fairly complete part of the chine, two bottom strakes and a fragment was recovered from a third strake. The boat fragment of oak measures around 5.4 by 1.1 m. The saved bottom strakes show no welds.

The outside of the chine, on which the edges are attached carvel. The flat parts and edges were joined by crooked wood, which consisted of a frame with a raised branch as the frame part.  The frames were fixed with wooden pins the kim and the hullplanks were also secured in this way.
