The dust feature G159.6--18.5 in the Perseus region has previously been observed with the COSMOSOMAS experiment citep{Watson:05} on angular scales of $approx$ 1$^{circ}$, and was found to exhibit anomalous microwave emission. We present new observati ons of this dust feature, performed with the Very Small Array (VSA) at 33 GHz, to help increase the understanding of the nature of this anomalous emission. On the angular scales observed with the VSA ($approx$ 10 -- 40$^{prime}$), G159.6--18.5 consists of five distinct components, each of which have been individually analysed. All five of these components are found to exhibit an excess of emission at 33 GHz, and are found to be highly correlated with far-infrared emission. We provide evidence that each of these compact components have anomalous emission that is consistent with electric dipole emission from very small, rapidly rotating dust grains. These components contribute $approx$ 10 % to the flux density of the diffuse extended emission detected by COSMOSOMAS, and are found to have a similar radio emissivity.
