The positive anomalies identified by geophysical survey in 2006 may represent large pits. Other details: Figure 4, site 8a; Appendix 2.

In the north-western corner of Area 2 was a large, amorphous complex of pits and scoops of Bronze Age or later date. These were up to 1.4m deep and encompassed an area measuring 10.5m by up to 5m. The features shared a homogenous fill, suggesting the area may have been backfilled, or naturally infilled, as a single feature, rather than being a series of separate, intercutting features. The irregular shape of this feature suggests its most likely purpose was for quarrying sand. A mixed assemblage of finds was recovered, including three tiny sherds (5g) of possibly intrusive Iron Age pot, a single residual piece of Beaker (7g) and one large (235g) Middle Bronze Age sherd.
