Pit (509) investigated by Trench A. Oval in plan, 8.3 metres east/west and over 4.35 metres north/south. It had a maximum depth of 1.65 metres with an asymmetrical profile, the west side being shallwer than the east side. The irregular base was cut into, and followed the bedrock.
It contained three main deposits. The base fill of mixed redeposited subsoil and degraded bedrock was overlain by a fine blue-grey silt with occasional charcoal fragments. The top fill was disturbed cultivation soil which contained a flint scraper and a sherd of post-medieval pot.
