This occurrence consists of peralkaline microgranite and rhyolite but no description of the geology has been traced. The microgranite contains phenocrysts of quartz, alkali feldspar and sodic amphibole together with aegirine/aegirine-augite, fayalite and aenigmatite. The rhyolite is much altered but spongy quartz, titanite and hematite are recognisable; spherulites are present.
