- Comments
- NdPe-2 (99-DCA-241): This site consists of at least 5 features on a raised beach spread over about 28 m. Three of the features resemble poorly defined midpassages, one is an isolated hearth, and the fifth is a gravel rimmed depression with several structural stones in the centre. Note that about 200 m seaward is a scattered tent ring and a 7-m long "hopping stone"(?) row. A small sample of fine grained charcoal was collected from a hearth.
