Small (~5 metre) outcrop of calc-silicate rock mostly composed of a bi-mineralic matrix of anorthite and vesuvianite with minor actinolite and quartz veining, ca. 600 metres east of the summit of Brown Mountain, difficult to find hidden in low heather. May have formed via Ca-metasomatism of original quartzite. Should be within 50 metres of 1 metre OSI co-coordinates O 13305 03509.
