Full Description

There was at least one clear cluster where the firecracked pebbles were very dense within a roughly circular patch recorded as showing through an alluvial silt band: it is possible that all of this feature is not yet exposed and hence has the potential for undisturbed settlement and activites associated ... This is almost certainly a burnt mound, a type of site commonly dated to the 2nd millenium BC. (1)
