EMP03 is located near the dam, along the riverbank. The site consists of a wide scatter of pottery sherds. One sherd appears to be patinated suggesting it may date to the Early Iron Age; however, the other sherds probably date to the Late Iron Age. The sherds probably originate further uphill where the current houses are located.
