Description

A number of features were observed some 170m east of Area 1 during the course of soil stripping. Subsequently an area was cleared about 30m square and ten scattered features were located and recorded. Most of these were pits of irregular shape and depth that may have been quarry scoops for locating ironstone erratics.
