A single cutting, measuring 3m by 1.5m, was excavated in order to investigate this site. It was composed of four poorly preserved roundwood and brushwood elements, one of which had a wedge-point worked end. Little remained of this site but there were a number of roundwood and brushwood platforms close by and it may be that this was originally also a platform. Wood samples taken in 2006 were identified as alnus (alder) and betula (birch).
