What is recorded here

Monitoring of a large scale development in 2002 revealed a possible ring-ditch with several associated deposits of burnt material in sub-circular cut pits (Mc Cabe 2004a, 175). This had rounded terminals opening westwards. There was no evidence for a corresponding bank. The base of the terminals contained five carbonised slit planks associated with burnt bone (Mc Cabe 2004b, 175).
