The site is located approximately 22 km upstream from Gull Rapids along the

north side of the Nelson River at the entrance to Gull Lake. The shoreline is
soft and unstable, aside from a small rocky outcrop where lithic flakes were
recovered. Both Historic and Pre-European Contact use of the site was evident.
Site visits occurred in 2001, 2012, 2013 and 2018.
