The National Monuments Service's description
This is the record for the burnt mound (Area B) excavated by Yvonne Whitty (E3232) on the N11 road improvement scheme. Associated with the spread of burnt material was a trough with a timber lining, and a wattle screen on its N side. Also adjacent was an area of large unburnt stones interpreted as a working platform. A radiocarbon date from this feature dates it to the late Bronze Age. (Whitty 2009k)
