The site is located ~800m downhill from UMZ014. The site is situated at the flattened base of a small hill and extends over an area of 50m x 80m. The site consists of naturally occurring outcrop of loose hornfels rocks. Many of the smaller rocks have been used for cores to produce flakes.

Given the size of the cores, it is unlikely that many are in a secondary context
