The site consists of a surface scatter and single, stratified, below surface lens of shell on proposed plot #27. This lies behind the immediate dune cordon. Neither of these lenses is particularly dense. The lower lies approximately 30cm below the surface. It is not immediately clear whether this exposure is a continuation of VWB 4. Shellfish species observed include Choromytilus meridionalis, Patella argenvillei, Patella granatina, Patella granularis and Patella cochlear. The dominant species is not immediately evident. Shell is more fragmented partly due to proximity of the jeep track but whole shell has also been preserved. Artefactual material consists of a single quartzite flake.
