A further season of fieldwork was carried out at this site as part of an ongoing research project.
Sixty stake-holes formed a linear structure at the entrance to the inner ditch of the complex. The outer ditch was located and found to be 1.8m deep. A charcoal layer was found near the top of the outer ditch fill and dozens of sherds of Late Bronze Age pottery were recovered.
