A collection of flaked lithic artifacts, pot sherds and one piece of slag were recovered from rabbit scrapes into a slight mound to the east of a patch of lazy beds. The pottery includes a variety of fabrics and both rim and body sherds. The lithics include one fine side scraper. Rhum bloodstone, quartzite and possibly some flint were used.
J Comrie 1985.
No mounds were recorded in this area during the course of the survey. However, pottery was recovered from rabbit scrapes into several of the huts and mounds situated in four main groups on the terrace below to the S. These groups lie amongst three plots of lazy-bed cultivation, for which see NG20NE 97-100 and 109.01.
