Two pieces of wood, one possibly not in situ and sitting on peaty clay, and one stratified in the organic clay. The stratified wood may have a pointed end about 0.3m long, 0.05m wide and oval/rounded in section. The other piece is narrower and lies 2m to the west 0.04m diameter and definitely pointed, though it is not clear if this is the result of abrasion. It is approximately 0.15m long. (1)
