SiteComments: 

o Shell midden, but the exact size is not known. A large part of the accumulation may be covered
by dune sand and vegetation.
o Shell midden is a Local Grade IIIBAVA site and of medium significance. It should be mitigated
before destruction.
o The site falls inside the footprint and may be directly under threat from the proposed
development.
A two metre long lens, some five cm thick was visible eroding from underneath dens vegetation. A
larger area may still be covered by sand and shrubs. The shellfish species are similar to sites in the
vicinity and a few quartzite stone flakes were noticed, which may suggest a Kabeljous type midden.
