Field Visit (28 March 2019)
This concrete mast base, which measures 2.15m square and 0.9m high on the S, is set into a S-facing slope 6.3m E of the latrines (NH86NW 9.43). Its upper surface is slightly domed and supports a triangular arrangement of three sockets each measuring 0.18m square and at least 0.4m in depth. Beside each of these sockets is a circular metal plate, measuring 0.11m in diameter, with a small, round, central, screw-threaded socket. A fourth socket, positioned at the centre of the triangular setting, retains a shrunken wooden stump.
