The remains comprised 22 pits of varying size, seven post-holes, five gullies, two shallow linear features and two stake-holes. These features were widely dispersed across the area and did not appear to represent structural remains. They included several pits which may have been hearths and a few which appeared to have been used to dump rubbish. A total of 72 sherds of pottery (including four lumps of burnt clay) and 48 fragments of flint were recovered.
