The site is located on the southern shoreline of Isle “D,” the second largest

island on Gull Lake. The shoreline is highly eroded with medium to large
cobbles. Vegetation on the island initially consisted of poplar and birch. A
single chert biface tool was recovered from the site in 2012. There were no
further recoveries. Site visits occurred in 2012 and 2015.
