The site is located along the north shoreline of the Nelson River approximately

7 km downstream from Birthday Rapids. Resource use cabins belonging to
members of TCN are located above the shoreline. A single schist chitho was
recovered from the site in 2015. Due to the nature of the sloping back shore,
shovel testing was unable to occur at the site. In 2018, a metal spearhead was
collected from the site. Site visits occurred in 2015 and 2018.
