Thanks Mannin. indeed the best place to look for new sites is where there are no sites
Archaeology is often biased towards recording the known. ( little we can do about that really)
The shorewatch project in Scotland http://www.shorewatch.co.uk/index.htm would be best placd for that. And - correct me if I am wrong, - the best evidence for Ships being dragged up onto a shore would be the ship iron nails or "cleats" ( please correct me for the right term) - Have you carried out detecting to 'detect' these sites. Where could we find more on this work in IOMan
A good first throw. and a project worth considering, as many of us are moving to 'Predicitve Terrain Analysis' to prospect for sites to fill in these gaps.
This story may indeed be of interest, about a RCAHMS discovery.
