The western one was 1.9m in diameter and 1.4m deep, with a conical profile. The pit had four fills, the primary a thin layer with a high charcoal content and the others silty clays. A possible recut was apparent in the final fill. A small crescentic flint scraper was retrieved from the single, silty clay fill of this recut .
