Statement of Significance

The site includes two shallow pits 45 metres apart with associated earth and charcoal mounds and a pile of stripped bark. The pits date from the World War II period when production was undertaken in response to petrol shortages. The site is of importance for its potential to provide information that contributes to a greater understanding of the history of the settlement and establishment of the district, and has a strong presumption of archaeological research potential. Further historical research and archaeological investigation is recommended.

RECOMMENDED LEVEL OF SIGNIFICANCE: Conservation Desirable
