Borden NumberFfOv-1 Site Typerock art; open air DescriptionThe site is 10km (6 mi) west and 4.8km (3mi) south of Kinsella. There is a Parks Department Historical Site Marker here, and a park and picnic ground, as well as outhouses, which supports the fact that this site is what is called "Ribstone Site" in the original 1969 registration ledger (see notes in the ledger). The site consists of two carved stones situated on the top of the highest hill near the middle of a long, narrow lake to the east, the main road run immediately below the hill to the east between the hill and the lake. Artifacts collected here consist of points, scrapers, choppers, etc. Features here include petroglyphs.
