A hollowed oak 'vessel' was found adjacent to the site of the Chibbyr Unjin holy well in 1932. It was 10 feet 5 inches long and up to two feet wide and was at first thought to be a dug-out canoe. However, a depression about halfway along the vessel had been made artificially, possibly by the continuous action of a running thong, which makes it unlikely to be a canoe.  


Excavation of the surrounding area revealed a 'floor' of compacted stones and earth up to ten inches deep. A number of doubtful stone 'tools' of white quartz were also found. 


The hollowed log was subsequently considered as 'having no demonstrable relation with the well and it may well have served as a sort of trough for food-preparation in connection with a temporary camp of a hunting community, for charcoal and rough stone implements were found nearby.'  This is therefore a possible burnt mound site of unknown date.
