From Apollo 16 Preliminary Science Report, Chapter 6 (1972):

The lunar surface in the vicinity of stations 8 and 9 is gently undulating with a northeasterly slope of a few degrees. Between 1 and 3 percent of the surface is covered by fragments 1 cm and larger. The largest blocks (1 to 2 m) are few and scattered. The blocks increase in size and abundance between stations 8 and 9 but decrease again at station 9, where blocks are somewhat less abundant than at station 8. There are many subdued craters as large as 3 m in diameter in this area. Most have slightly raised, rounded rims. Several craters at station 8 have concentrations of blocks on the northeast rims, and a few of these are somewhat elongate in a northeast-southwest direction, suggesting that they are South Ray secondaries.

Station 9 is where the Great Sneak was conducted, in order to collect an undisturbed sample.
