It has been extensively damaged by the previous construction of these facilities and the road. The site consists of a variety of shell species (barnacle, oyster, P. perna, and Donax spp.). A lower grinding stone was also recorded. More of the site, or other smaller sites are likely to occur underneath the dense dune vegetation. My personal experience, and the database at the Natal museum, suggests that there is a very high density of archaeological shell middens within a 1 km radius of any rock outcrop along the beach.
