      Statement of Significance

      Although this site contains temporally mixed Stone Age materials and preserves no faunal, organic or other cultural materials, it is an example of humans re-using a water source over a very long period of time.This locality is considered to be of medium significance and is given a field rating of Grade IIIc. It is recommended that the area around waypoints 87 and 89 be conserved in perpetuityas part of the National Estate and for potential future research. A temporary fence should be erected around this site under the supervision of a suitably qualified and accredited archaeologist before construction commences to avoid damage or disturbance. The red polygon in Plate 16 already allows for a buffer between archaeological resources and the surrounding landscape. Management measures for this site should be included in the Construction and Operational Environmental Management Plan for the development. This recommendation was accepted by the applicant and Figure 3 shows that the proposed grid connection route will run to the west of the site.
