Reading Sanamia's Journal (3) found in Dead Drop Falls starts this mini excavation.
Walkthrough
After entering Fort Frostmoth on Solstheim through the main entrance, go down the stairs to the right. The dig spot is located to the right of the key-locked door.
Activating the site leads to the rubble being cleared (takes about 12 ingame hours). After defeating the Ash Spawn that waits in the excavated room, you can loot the weapon racks for random weapons, the shelf for an assortment of ingots as well as the unlocked chest and the adept-locked Strong Box for random valuables.
Location
Fort Frostmoth
Technical Note
The excavated room does not appear on the local map, it stays covered by a so-called "Black Plane").

10 | I have cleared the rubble leading to a well stocked storage room, rich with wares for the taking. |
