The site is located on a low-lying rock outcrop point, along the north shore of
the Nelson River within a bay. When the site was recorded, cultural material
had been exposed due to the 2013 forest fire and the site had since been
machine cleared and void of vegetation. Later visits saw the growth of various
grasses in the back shore. Late Woodland ceramic and Pre-European Contact
lithics were recovered from the site. Site visits occurred in 2016 and 2018.
