This site was an area of brushwood. Three clusters of brushwood survived in the cutting, the least damaged pieces at the southern end. They were placed longitudinally and measured 15–45mm in diameter. Some pegs and transversely laid twigs were also found at this end of the cutting. The twigs functioned as packing material in between the longitudinals. The remaining brushwood in the cutting was substructural in appearance and was more irregularly arranged, with several peg-like elements. The wood represented the remains of some superstructural and substructural elements of a brushwood togher. The site was traced for 11m.
