The mullock is similar to the mullock at site No 8.03. An indistinct track formation runs east from this site to the Centaur No.2 mine site. A patch of irises is growing beside this formation, and there is a collection of broken black bottle shards near the track formation. Approximatelya hundred metreswest of this site is a rectangular shaped plantation of introduced trees. These trees indicate where a house site may have been.
