The site consists of a cabin located on the north shore of Gull Lake, A

approximately 650 m south of Little Gull Lake. The 5x6 m structure was
discovered after the 2013 forest fire exposed the foundation and associated
tin can midden. The cabin was excavated in 2014 and revealed a female
presence with the recovery of delicate glass buttons and a hair pin. Site
visits occurred in 2013 and 2014.
