- Comments
- NePe-6 (99-DCA-263): This site consists of 7+ features along about 400 m on a drumlin crest. The westernmost feature is a mid-passage measuring 3.4 x 1.7 m with a chert core in association, while three of the remaining features are probable mid-passages, and three are scattered tent rings(?) or possibly mid-passages. Charcoal was collected from the upper 5 cm of open-work gravel under a hearth stone in the centre of the westernmost mid-passage.
