It’s really long and quite wide but no sign of a mast. No idea what the history of this thing is.

    You should contact a local history group or museum. That could be a significant find - it’ clearly old, possibly thousands of years.

      Idk if it’s that old if it is directly exposed in the water like that. I would imagine that it would have decomposed

        Yeah, I doubt it’s even a hundred years old. I almost don’t even want to find out its story as it’s likely nothing that exciting. If I had to bet I’d guess it’s an old barge of some sort.

        This actually happens somewhat frequently in tidal areas. Floods and heavy rain will churn up the bottom of the bog and expose things which have been covered for hundreds of years.
