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 subrectangular-shaped pit (1m N-S; 0.7m E-W; D 0.1m) (Cummins 2002, 16-17). The sides and base were defined by bright red oxidised boulder clay suggesting in situ burning. The black, charcoal-rich fill contained a few tiny fragments of burnt bone but no artefacts. A second pit and a shallow deposit (LI005-084----) are located c. 100m to S.
