Description
In May 2021 the 2019 Trench 5 was reopened and extended eastwards and downslope. The central hearth was relocated and exposed. The 2021 trench revealed that the structure was oval/sub-circular. The excavation recovered numerous sherds of hand-coiled pottery and two sherds of Late Roman amphorae, a fragment of small copper-alloy projecting ring-headed pin, lump of iron, and a nail or fitting. Samples taken for radiocarbon dating.
