Only one anchor has been recovered from the site; this came from the nest of three anchors in the middle part of the site. Almost certainly, these anchors were originally stored in the hold, probably lashed upright to the aft part of the main hatch, just in front of the mainmast. The anchor is in a poor state of preservation, it would have originally had an iron ring and probably flanges to locate a wooden stock.
