Erme Ingot Site

A site consisting of tin ingots were found near West Mary's Rocks in 1991–1992. It is believed that these may represent a wreck site, or lost cargo from a ship. The ingots are believed to have been made before 1000 BC, and possibly as early as the Bronze Age. The site was designated under the Protection of Wrecks Act on 24 November 1993. The wreck is a Protected Wreck managed by Historic England. The ingots found here are an important source of knowledge for prehistoric tin.
