NM 82859 00440 Only one room of this structure survives. It is rectangular, measuring 9.7m by 6.6m with walls 0.7m thick and up to 1.5m high.
NM 82865 00468 The structure lies 8m west of the 'pit'. The pit is 3.5m by 2.5m and 1.1m deep with steep sides. It is not natural and may perhaps be a saw pit. The steep sides suggest that it is not a sheep pit.
