NM 805 685 Mounding operations disturbed a charcoal burners? stance, 7m diameter, situated on a level shelf of the hillside. A second stance, 8m diameter, was revealed during the construction of an access track. Here a 6cm layer of charcoal occurred immediately beneath the soil surface, followed by a 8cm sterile layer, below which was an irregular band of charcoal-laden soil up to 4cm thick, indicating an earlier use for the site.
