A large scatter of stone artefacts and marine shell some 50 meters in diameter lying on a deflated surface surrounded by thick vegetation.. Part of the scatter is covered by windblown sand. Weathered human remains are found on the surface on the one extreme of the site. Quartz, quartzite, limestone and silcrete are present. Many of the silcrete flakes displayed cortex as if much preparation of raw material had taken place here. One backed scraper was observed. The distinct impression is gained that there may be a mix of MSA (Middle Stone Age) and LSA (Late Stone Age) components here. Shell includes Turbo sarmaticus and Oxystele sp with some Patella species also noted. Many ostrich eggshell fragments of which some appears to be mineralized. Some bone is also noted. No ceramics were seen.
