A pit contained a dog burial. No pottery was recovered from the fill, but as the pit was sealed by subsoil it probably dates from the post-medieval rather than modern period.

No evidence of butchery, gnawing, burning, or pathology were noted on any of the remains.

Fairly complete articulated dog skeleton.

The dog remains were from a medium sized animal, 0.51m high to the shoulder, roughly the size of a large terrier breed. The animal displayed slight pathological variation within the spinal column, possibly developmental in nature rather than the result of trauma.
