This site was located on the eastern side of the existing landing strip along the middle of the runway. The site is poorly defined on the surface and only the occurrence of a few ash concentrations as well as numerous potshards gives any indication of the locality of the site. After intensive investigations it seems that the site is located over and area of roughly 50m x 200m reaching from the edge of the existing runway 50m to the east and 200m along the length of the runway. It is quite likely that the construction of the existing airstrip could have contributed to damage to the site as well as causing heightened erosion from runoff from the compacted airstrip. Several potshards (some with identifiable decoration) as well as several animal bones (ecoͲfacts), upper and lower grinding stones as well as polishing stones were identified over the area of the site.
