Summary A spread of burnt stone and charcoal rich soil measuring approximately 11m by 8m was found to have been partially truncated by a large water hole or well. The up-cast from this pit had been used to create a bank of earth down-slope of the hole. The burnt spread has been radiocarbon dated to the 9th to 10th centuries BC. No trough was revealed. The water hole and bank were not, however, thought to be of any great antiquity.
