Relatively large numbers of small pieces of weathered marine shellfish are randomly scattered in a fairly wide area just beyond the northern boundary fence of the WWTW. The surrounding fields have been ploughed over and the material occurs in a highly disturbed context. A few farm tracks intersect the fields. Animal burrowing is extensive and some displaced shellfish was noted in the some of the deeper burrows. The surface shellfish is dominated by S. argenvillei with some Black Mussel and a few small whelks also occurring. A few whole S. argenvillei was also noted. Very few lithics were recorded, but one silcrete flake, one quartz chunk and one small shale chunk was found. The shellfish scatter is quite contained and does not extend more than 30-40 m north of the fence line, where it disappears altogether.
