What is recorded here

Half a metre wide and barely deep enough to drown a ankle, the ditch still marks a room twelve metres long where people stood close enough to touch walls of earth. A kiln later chewed through its south end, proving the site kept changing instead of fading. Charcoal flecks in grey clay hint at fire and presence, though no object survived to name the hands that dug or heated the place.

Located on the plateau of a broad low hill, c. 20m ENE of ring-ditch (ME038-071002-) and c. 30m NE of the central barrow (ME038-071001-). This (10) is the arc of a round-bottomed fosse (max. Wth 0.36m; max. D 0.14m) with a rounded terminal at N. It enclosed S-W-N a D-shaped area (dims 12m N-S; 6.5m E-W), but the S terminal was removed by a kiln (ME038-071009-). Its fill was a grey sandy clay with some charcoal flecks but no artefacts or dating material were recovered.
