In sand dunes on the Ross peninsula. In the late 19th-century, Knowles (1889-91, 616) recorded the following: "… in Ross….I found numerous hut sites from which … the sand covering cannot have been long removed." The hut sites were associated with a midden (MA15-059001-) and a burial (MA015-059003-). The exact location of the hut sites was not recorded and remains unknown.
