This site was investigated by a cutting measuring 2.3m by 1m and two small slot-trenches. It was composed of a loosely laid brushwood spread covering an area of around 5m by 2m. No particular function could be ascribed to it, but, since the site was located in an area where several platforms occurred, it may also represent the remnants of a platform. Samples taken during the 2006 survey indicated that the wood types included quercus (oak) and alnus (alder).
