A number of post-holes and pits forming a circle with a line of post-holes possibly representing the S edge of an entrance feature or porch at SE similar to a house (KK023-142----) c. 20m to the N. A hearth (recut on a number of occasions) was centrally placed. Another hearth, windbreak and waste pits to the SE are likely to have been associated with this structure.
