MartinJEley visited on 18th Jun 2015 - their rating: Cond: 1 Amb: 3 Access: 5 Although there is little to see in the way of ruins appreciating the remoteness of the site and its long history make a visit worthwhile.
The archaeology goes well beyond this site with elements being found at many sites across Newfoundland's Great Northern Penninsula. The site is operated by Parks Canada. The site has been developed to provide visitors with an insight into the history of the site while exploring both natural and man made features.
Located off the main site, in the nearby town of Port au Choix, is the site of the Maritime Archaic Indian Cemetery with a modern Gathering Circle, and interpretative panels. A small museum at the same location also provides valuable historical information. A visit to this area provides a tremendous insight into the long history of this area of Newfoundland.
