The site comprises an old historic ash midden located on the northern bank of the Sand River. The exact historic association of the midden is not presently clear, however the artefacts observed here appear to be older than 100 years. The midden is approximately 15 m x15 m in extent and is eroding southwards towards the river. In the photograph below, a H&A Gilbey bottle, a porcelain ceramic shred, glass stopper, a writing slate fragment, an aquamarine Lemos-type bottle fragment as well as medicine bottles including a De Witt bottle.
