The pit measured approximately 7m long and 0.62m deep as exposed and extended beyond the footprint of the trench. The pit was cut into the subsoil and was partially investigated in agreement with the HEOLCC. It had a steep, slightly concave western side with flat base and contained two fills. The lower fill consisted of a compact mid blue-grey silty clay with moderate charcoal inclusions. Overlying this was a compact dark grey-brown silty clay fill with moderate charcoal inclusions. The presence of crushed stone (possible building material) in both fills suggest intentional deposition. The lower fill was sampled for paleoenvironmental analysis and yielded oak charcoal remains indicative of a dump of hearth waste material. No finds were recovered from the pit.
