One of four burnt-flint filled pits, linear features and the remains of a cremation burial suggesting the presence of an occupation site beneath Romano-British deposits.

Charcoal from the primary fill (context 20681) of pit 20682 produced a date of 3293±30 BP (NZA- 28249, 1670-1490 cal BC) (3)

Artefactual material was largely absent from these features, although the primary fill of 20682 produced a leaf-shaped arrowhead.
