SLD 15a/b is located near the alternative Picnic Site to Catalina Jetty (SLD16).
SLD15a is located at the proposed Picnic Site. Pottery sherds were observed along the edge of the site. This suggests the site extends eastwards. SLD15b is a large shell midden located ±20 m north of SLD15a. The midden is mostly undisturbed and overlooks Lake St. Lucia. The shell midden is ± 15 cm deep, ±10 m in radius and appears to have a stratigraphic deposit. The shell species consist mostly of P. perna, oyster and whelk. Well preserved bone (hippo?) was observed in the deposit. This midden is a good representative example of middens in the area and has high research potential. In addition to this, the site has the potential for archaeotourism.
