The site is located within Box Bay on the south shore of Gull Lake. When the

site was initially visited in 2001 it was found to be a multi-component campsite
consisting of Pre-European Contact lithics and historic earthenware. Late A
Woodland ceramics and lithics were recovered during following visits. The
site consists of an eroded shore with large cobbles. Site visits occurred in 2001,
2003, 2012, 2013, 2015, 2018 and 2019.
