Note

OpenStreetMap node 2361664994, in the searchers' excavation area near the east end of the island, where MacPhie and Wonnacott (2006) label it on an aerial photograph. The point marks the area dug since the 1800s; where the original shaft lay inside it is not known. An earlier version of this record placed it about 500 m too far west.
