Site 1 (centred on trench D57) was a hollow containing burnt flint and occasional prehistoric sherds and struck flints. The layer possibly covers an area 12m x 12m,and with other finds in nearby trenches it suggests that the site is probably 30m x 30m.

Between these two sites a thrid possible site was uncovered comprising of a small burnt flint-filled feature with one probable and one possible pit (B1).
