The location assigned to this record is essentially arbitrary.
This record may represent a recording error, and refer solely to a natural feature. The Spur [name: ND 170 700] forms a prominent area of exposed rock on the N side of Murkle Bay, and the record may refer to this, rather than to a specific loss or stranding on it.
