Common Name: JT 2
Site Comments:

JT 2 is situated on the highest dune in the proposed development site. The dune is densely vegetated, but a large patch of sand occurs on the dune top. The patch of sand is covered in a compacted layer of dense shellfish (about 3 x 2 m in extent), which is also visible on the exposed south east facing slopes. The shellfish is dominated by Turbo sarmaticus (including large whole shell), Operculum, Scutellastra argenvillei. with small amounts of Diloma sinensis, Haliotis, Barnacle S. longicosta and S. cochlear also occurring. Stone tool frequencies are low, and are mainly dominated by a few quartzite flakes, chunks and round cobbles while two limestone flakes, three quartz flakes, two quartz chunks and one quartz bipolar core were also found . A few pieces of burnt limestone were also noted, which may be the remains of a stone hearth. Two small pieces of undecorated pottery and one incomplete bored stone was also found on the south east facing slope of the vegetated dune.
