In pasture, on a gentle SW-facing slope, c. 95m to E of Groody Road and c. 140m to E of the Groody River. Mary Magdalene’s Well (LI005-034001-) and a burial ground (LI005-034002-) are located c. 66m to SW. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Discovered during archaeological monitoring (License No. 02E1615) and excavated by Tracy Collins (License No. 02E1710) (Collins 2002a and 2002b). A keyhole-shaped feature, consisting of a subcircular-shaped pit (L 1.4m; max. Wth 0.8m; D 0.4m) filled with a deep black deposit mixed with boulder clay and having an oily texture (Collins 2002b). There were small amounts of charcoal inclusions and some organic material and the edge of the pit showed evidence of burning (ibid). A linear flue (L0.8m; Wth 0.2m; D 0.25m) projected from the pit to the SW and was filled with a mix of redeposited boulder clay, some stones and flecks of charcoal; Its edges had some evidence of heat exposure (ibid). This feature is likely to have had an industrial function.
