Rill Cove Finds Project
Rill Cove is located on the south coast of England, near the village of Helston, Cornwall. The principal aim of the project was to produce a record of the objects recovered from the protected wreck site between 1976 and 1992. While the identification of the wreck is unknown, it is thought to date to the 17th century. The Rill Cove site was discovered by Ken Simpson and Mike Hall while diving on the wreck of a wooden fishing vessel Kerris Read. A small cast iron gun was located, with a number of silver coins concreted to it. Further investigation located further coins and a small number of other artifacts.The site was designated under the Protection of Wrecks Act on 15th March 1976. During 1976 a site survey was undertaken, including a site plan.
