The National Monuments Service's description
A spread of heat affected material with fire-cracked stone that may represent a cooking pit or the remains of a small burnt mound was discovered several metres to the south of the burnt mound [CO044-109----]. This feature is most probably associated with the larger burnt mound. It was exposed on the ground surface between two drains (but had not been cut by either of the drains). This feature measured c. 2.5m east-west by 1.2m north-south.
