A small circular pit, 0.7m in diameter and 0.3m deep, was found beside a burnt mound. The burnt mound was comprised of a 0.1–0.3m-deep spread of mixed charcoal, ash and burnt cracked stones, encompassing an irregular area whose maximum dimensions were 10m by 7m north to south. A radiocarbon determination for this feature provided a measurement of 3360660 bp, giving a date range when calibrated to two sigma of cal bc 1760 to 1500 (cal bp 3710 to 3450).
