This site was on low-lying pastureland with poor drainage. The mound was extremely truncated and disturbed. It was on the northern edge of the pipeline corridor and continued beyond the northern limit of excavation.
The mound measured 6m (east–west) by 5m and was 0.05–0.1m deep. The deposit consisted of fragments of heat-shattered limestone in a dark brown, clayey silt. No cut features were exposed beneath the mound.
