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.

里尔湾位于英格兰南部海岸，靠近康沃尔郡的赫尔斯顿村庄。该项目的首要目标是记录1976年至1992年间从受保护沉船遗址中出土的文物。尽管沉船的身份尚未揭晓，但据推测其年代可追溯至17世纪。里尔湾遗址由肯·辛普森和迈克·霍尔在潜水探索一艘木质渔船“凯里斯·雷德”号沉船时发现。在该遗址中，他们找到了一枚小型铸铁炮管，其上附着多枚银币。进一步的调查发现了更多银币以及少量其他文物。该遗址于1976年3月15日根据《沉船保护法》被指定为保护遗址。在1976年，对该遗址进行了现场调查，包括绘制了遗址平面图。
