A suggestion of a small pit identified by geophysical survey, within the possible ring ditch or round house, to the north of Pin Court Farm. Other details: Figure 4, site 20; figure 9.

Within the area enclosed by the gully, and slightly off-centre, was a shallow, sub-circular pit, 0.57m by 0.52m by 0.07m deep. No datable finds were recovered from this feature, although its fill incorporated a moderate amount of charcoal. It was uncertain whether the feature represented the remains of a structural post-setting or a pit.
