Situated in a low-lying, flood-prone area which had an ancient NW-SE water course (Wth c. 5.5m; D 0.6m) running through it. A core of burnt mound material (Feature 2) (dims. 4m x 3.32m; T 0.1m) overlay a rectangular trough (dims. 1.87m x 1.42m; D 0.3m) with vertical sides on the edge of the old stream.
