SiteComments: 

This site is characterised by several dense patches of virtually whole shell. It would appear that even the surface indications of this site have been minimally disturbed - mole activity here appears to be low. No artefacts were seen although fragments of ostrich egg shell (used both as a food and a commodity by prehistoric people) were seen among the shells. Shell species represented are Patella granatina, Patella granularis and Choromytilus meridionalis. Other species present in lesser quantities are Patella argenvillei, Patella barbara, Patella cochlear, Burnupena sp. and Donax serra.
