Because of the differential exposure from season to season, it is difficult to accurately assess changes in the condition of the assorted objects in the artefact scatter.                                                                                                                            No items appear to have been taken recently as souvenirs, and while there appears to be some movement of objects in the artefact scatter, the likelihood of exposed objects being blown into Commonwealth Bay is low.

Over-cladding roof timber protects but obscures the weathered original boards of the Main Hut and the Magnetograph House. This has impacted on the level of integrity for this value.
