This site consisted of a figure-of-eight-shaped slot-trench, probably structural, which was cut through a layer of redeposited natural. This in turn sealed a layer of charcoal. Two flint flakes were recovered from the fill of the possible structure. They appeared to have been struck off a parallel core, which suggests that they may be Mesolithic or Neolithic. Two external pits were also recorded, one of which also yielded a possible Mesolithic flint flake.
