Excavation revealed wooden trough (L 1.8m; Wth 0.6m), the greater part of which was hollowed from a single oak trunk. Groove at E end to accommodate plank; small perforation at base of groove possibly to contain peg. Hearth to NE of trough consisted of shallow depression filled with black soil, ash and charcoal. Spread of black soil and charcoal extended from the hearth to the eastern lip of the trough. Beneath this spread, 11 stake-holes were revealed, possibly evidence of roasting spit, according to excavator.
