This site was revealed during an intensive resurvey of the western TMF area. Subsequent excavation established the site to be a poorly made platform dating from 754–370 cal. BC (UB-4182), constructed of criss-crossed roundwood, in extremely poor condition. It may have functioned as a platform over an extremely wet area of dying forest and was exposed for some considerable time, though constructed for temporary use.
