The interior of the site produced evidence of three structures (KD004-039001-, KD004-039002- and KD004-039003-) and a metalworking site (KD004-039004-). Structure century (KD004-039002-) was a small sub rectangular structure with an entrance at the south-east corner; no internal features were present. It measured c. 5m east-west by 5m.
