A shell midden lens in the same context as VWB 1 and VWB 2 lying in front of proposed house #27. The exposed lens in section is approximately 20cm thick lying below a thinner sterile overburden some 1m thick. Shellfish species observed include Choromytilus meridionalis, Patella argenvillei, Patella granatina and Patella granularis. The dominant species is not immediately evident but much of the shell is whole and well preserved. No artefactual material was observed amongst the
eroded material on the dune slope.
