Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.It would appear that 4 metres is way too short for a longboat. It is obviously a longboat, a significant find none the less.

Or maybe , an over sized surf board .
it looks like a dug out canoe to me
I love even the smallest sense of walking in the shoes of people who lived so long ago.
