This site consisted of a floor surface comprising small heat-affected stones and a probable central hearth. A number of shallow pits lay outside of the floor surface, with one large pit to the west. The floor surface sealed a layer of grey silty clay, which in turn sealed a number of stake-holes and another shallow pit. No diagnostic material was recovered during the excavation, but the feature is believed to be the floor surface of a possible 17th-century mud hut.
