In the area previously occupied by the British Legion extension to the Old Manse, a possible pit was sub-circular in plan, measuring 1.9m in length and 0.35m deep (max.), with a shallow concave profile. The feature contained a fill of grey-brown gritty clay producing a small number of sherds dated mid 16th to mid 18th century. Alternatively, the feature may be regarded as a hollow of garden soil.

North-east of the first possible pit, another pit was circular in plan, around 1m in diameter and at least 1.45m deep, extending below the lower limit of excavation. It was filled by dark grey/black gritty clay producing an assemblage of 12 sherds of pottery dated 19th to 20th century on the basis of the presence of white slipware. The fill also produced three fragments of cattle or cattle-size bone. The appears to post-date the Old Manse and may have served for rubbish disposal during use of the building.
