Located 10 kilometres east south-east of Symons Hill. In the early 1990's, Maritana Gold NL dug two shallow circular costeans here, beneath 1 to 2 metre thick calcrete and clay overburden. The deposit contained fine grained hornblende bearing pyroxene granulite, foliated, medium grey in colour, but turning very dark when polished. No further work occurred at the site.
