Monitoring of peat removal has been completed in the northern extension of the quarry. A cluster of small features was uncovered in association with two rows of pits extending beneath the peat in a westerly direction. These pits were filled with grey silty sand and have been interpreted as stone sockets, perhaps from stone rows.
