This site was on low-lying land on the margins of a shallow bog. There was a wide stream c. 5m to the south. The site measured 8.5m (east–west) by 8m and was 0.05–0.1m deep. The deposit consisted of angular, fragmented, burnt stone in a black/brown, sandy, silty clay. The mound was considerably disturbed. On excavation, no cut features were noted beneath the mound.
