The small site consisted only of 3 domestic pits. C9 was isolated and had evidence of in situ burning with heat-affected natural in the base. This was not extensive and it is likely the pit was used a single time or the temperature was quite low. Pits c3 and c5 were in close proximity to one another and contained a high concentration of charcoal, but no evidence of in situ burning. They likely represent refuse pits from fire-pits or hearths, either from c9 or from features outside the stripped area. No diagnostic finds or material were recovered from the features.
