Located approximately 20 kilometres east of Beverley, and 100 metres east of Clulow Road in the middle of a wheat paddock. A small historic looking digging could be seen from the road. It is on private property and access is not allowed.
The site was reported by E.S. Simpson from the early Twentieth Century, but is it unclear the present state of the deposit. It has been described as two separate microcline-muscovite pegmatite masses, and shows as abundant milky quartz float in a white clay matrix as a small tree covered rise in the centre of the paddock. A greenstone dyke has intruded the pegmatite splitting it in two. The south-eastern pegmatite is 12 metres wide, showing a quartz core, probable microcline wall zone, containing accessory albite and muscovite, with microcline graphic granite common around the outcrop.
The north-western pegmatite is narrower according to Simpson, but is no longer visible.
Two light green crystal fragments from the location are in the Western Australian Museum. Translucent blue corundum has also been reported but is unconfirmed. Simpson stated the deposit contained rounded and sub-angular corundum pebbles with strong rhombohedral twinning and parting, crystals up to 120mm in diameter, grey to greyish-lilac, low translucency, and crowded with corrosion cavities. At greater depth was 1-10mm in diameter corundum fragments, blue with almost colourless and more translucent centres compared to the rims.
. Around 1922, limited mining took place to extract feldspar for potteries, but no more historic information is known.
