[3]: 198 The site lies near the Big Meadows complex of sites at the headwaters of the Rose River, at the confluence of the juvenile river with a small tributary, Hogcamp Branch; its elevation is approximately 2,200 feet (670 m), but it sits just below the saddle of Fisher's Gap at an elevation of more than 3,000 feet (910 m).

[3]: 142  Its location along the river, near a set of pools and waterfalls, suggest that it might have been used for catching fish such as the brook trout.

[3]: 108  A small collection of pottery, approximately 25 sherds, also was discovered; most of the pieces were of a form known as the Albemarle series.

[3]: 109  Most of these artifacts were tiny lithic flakes, many so small that they presumably could have been created only by the resharpening of existing blades made elsewhere, although the site also yielded two scrapers,[3]: 110  a chopper that had been used as a basic millstone, and a hand drill.

[3]: 111 The period between occupations, with thousands of years separating the earlier Archaic occupiers and the later Woodland tribesmen, is typical of major Virginia sites discovered in the 1970s, at which time there was a significant gap in the knowledge of the ancient hillmen living within the future state's borders.
