Site Description	A bowl shaped depression 30 m above channel level on the northern side of Jacksons Creek, is an abandoned meander of the river formed at an earlier stage in the incision of the valley. The bluffs that flank the depression are abandoned river cliffs, while the slightly raised area in the middle is the remains of the meander spur that was breached during the development of the cutoff.

Management	Class 2. Retention of the site under rural land use is an appropriate way to maintain the significance of the feature.
