During topsoil stripping operations, burnt stones and soil were found on the western edge of the pipeline easement. This is a large wet area in a hollow to the E of the pipeline. Much of the burnt material was very gritty and silty and looked as if it had eroded downhill from a possible burnt mound to the W. There is a vague mound in the pasture field just outside the pipeline fence.
