This site was an area of degraded brushwood. A cutting 1m x 2m was placed over the site, and excavation revealed sixteen dispersed brushwoods with no particular arrangement. Three pieces of brushwood at the northern end of the cutting represented the remains of pegs. One of the pegs had a toolmarked end. The wood represents the substructural remains of a brushwood togher.
