Two pits contained charcoal-rich fills. Feature 13 in Trench 15 was sub-oval in plan, 0.84m wide, and filled with two deposits. At a depth of 0.35m the pit’s slight concave base was hardened and reddened as a result of direct heat, suggestive of in situ burning, and a thick basal fill of brown silt [25] contained two lenses of small charcoal fragments separated by unfired orangey grey clay. This was capped by light greyish brown silt [24] with rare flecks of charcoal, but no artefacts were recovered. Feature 12 in Trench 17 was another pit of sub-circular plan, 1.1m long and 1.07m wide, that was identified with a single fill [22] of soft mid-brown clayey silt infused with frequent small charcoal fragments. This pit displayed gently sloping sides and a flat base at a depth of 0.1m.<1>

Three post-holes were located near to the pits. One, F.47 in Trench 14, was of a concave profile with a diameter of 0.3m and was filled with soft brown silt [53] and occasional charcoal flecks to a depth of 0.12m. This contained a small assemblage of heat-cracked stones. Two other postholes, Fs. 48 and 49, were identified near to pit F.13 in Trench 15. These were both circular in plan with diameters of 0.22-0.28m and, positioned less than 2.0m apart, each contained a single fill with rare charcoal flecks to between 0.04m and 0.15m depth.
