- Where is it? As precise a location as you can give, how far to the nearest road access and is it above the high tide mark?
- What size is it? Approximate length, can it be moved or secured against removal by the tide?
- How fresh is it? Is it in a good state or a smelly heap of bones? Are parts missing?
