It comprises five sub-rectangular and sub-circular pit features (Dims. L1.1m-1.78m, Wth 1.66m, D 0.15m-0.3m) and a spread of burnt mound material. Two of these pits were interpreted as trough pits. They had stake holes in each corner (Elder, 2007, 95-96).The ecact location of this monument is unknown.
