A series of three distinct rectangular pits. Now covered with boards to prevent stock from stepping in. Lush grass and nettles cover the bottoms of the pits. Similar to the drain to the west of the enclosure wall of the Old Light compound. There are also other depressions in the area that suggest that other pits were started or have been filled in. The westernmost pit has a small ring with a central slight depression on its east side.
