A timber lined bowl-shaped trough (dims. 2.4m x 2.1m) lay west of the spread. A charcoal sample taken from this feature returned a radiocarbon date of 971-816 BC. Underneath the burnt material there was a second trough and an extensive layer of peat. Carried out under licence No's 00E0216/217/218 (Bennett 2002, 323-4). Compiled by: Caimin O'Brien.
