Feature 6 at SX 62927378. A small rectangular feature attached to the lower side of a stony lynchet wall measures approximately 3.8 metres by 3.0 metres internally. The wall on three sides is composed of small and medium sized boulders and is up to 0.5 metres high; the downhill side is delimited by an 0.4 metre high scarp. It may be an occupation site but this classification is by no means certain.
