boot - How to recover broken Ubuntu 18.04 LTS install having been dd'd over by iso9660?

I have a Dell laptop with a 120GB SSD hard disk. It has Ubuntu 18.04 LTS installed on a single partition on the main drive.

Whilst trying to make a USB boot disk from the command line, I accidentally did a umount /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda (can recall). Shortly after the machine spewed some log errors and hung.

When I boot the machine, I've taken to the grub rescue prompt, which displays "error: unknown filesystem. Entering rescue mode...".

Using a friend's computer, I created an Ubuntu 18.04 LTS usb live pen. From the "try without installing" option, I was able to get access to Wifi and install boot-repair tool. (see output below, with paste bin link at the bottom).

It appears that Grub sees the file system incorrectly as iso9660. When I installed Ubuntu using the GUI installed, I chose the default options (so I'm not sure whether it should be ext2, ext3 or ext4).

Either way, it's most certainly not iso9660. How do I repair the Grub configuration so that I can boot from the hard disk please?

Update: I have since tried booting to the ubuntu USB drive and manually mounting the /dev/sda1 120GB SSD. It is in fact a iso9660 fstype containing the Ubuntu installer, so it would appear I dd copied over my OS with the 1.89GB installer image.

I've obviously lost the first ~2GB of data, but is there a way to recover the rest of the file system?
