NH 1955 7895 Targeted excavation of two features at the northern end of the site (see above), was followed by a preliminary investigation, 22–24 August 2008, of a massive sub-circular stony mound of uncertain date and function at the southern end of the site. A shallow slot trench 1m wide was dug into the S bank of the mound, with a sideways extension at its lower end.
The upper part of the bank consisted of a matrix of coarse orange subsoil containing a mass of small stones and a few larger ones. The base end of the trench consisted of dark grey silt and clay. The boundary between the two soils was defined by narrow bands of red and black material. There was no evidence that the mound was man-made.
