A ring of eight post holes enclosing a roughly oval area c.6x7m in diameter was interpreted as the foundations for the roof supports of a timber round house. An internal pit, incorporating heat affected stones and charcoal in its fill, may have been a central hearth. A double row of post holes extending from the E edge of the circle may mark the foundations of an associated porch. Some features yielded a small quantity of handmade Early or Middle IA pottery. (1)
