On a gentle W-facing slope, in low-lying pasture, c. 315m to NE of the Groody River. Not depicted on OS historic mapping. Identified in 2002 during monitoring (License No. 02E1615) along the line of a drainage wayleave (Collins 2002). Excavated (License No. 02E1772) as a small pit, with a small charcoal-rich deposit, c. 7m to NE (Cummins 2002). The circular-shaped pit (diam. 0.3m; D 0.05m) had a charcoal-rich fill, contained a number of small fragments of metal slag and appeared to have been truncated (ibid, 16). The shallow deposit (diam. 0.3m; D 0.02m) consisted of a black, charcoal-rich soil, which may form the remains of the basal part of a truncated pit feature (ibid, 16). A cremation pit (LI005-084004-) lies c. 100m to N.
