Visited 2009. Located within flat area to rear of dunes, with generally short vegetation and patchy scrub. Some wetter areas south-east of location and pond dug circa 75 metres east. Some topsoil exposed in vehicle tracks and molehills, no artefacts visible, probably indicating stabilisation of sand deposits below.
