This site was first shown to archaeologists in 1998 by a local resident. Shovel testing that year was inconclusive, but further test excavations the following year yielded artifacts which point to a date range in the late eighteenth century, during the time of the Black Loyalist settlers. At the western edge of the depression appears to be the remains of a hearth or chimney. The artifacts included dark green 'wine" bottle glass, gray-bodied coarse stoneware, a hand-wrought nail, refined earthenware and an H-hinge. As with other Black Loyalist sites, the artifact assemblage was quite small (43 in total), likely owing to the poverty suffered by the Black Loyalists and their removal to Sierra Leone within a decade of their arrival. This would not have allowed much time for material accumulation in the archaeological record.
