This feature comprised an oval pit (1.95m x 1.15m; D 0.24m) which contained two fills: a primary fill of oxidised clay with frequent inclusions of fire-reddened stones and an overlying fill of charcoal-enriched silty clay. According to the excavator (O'Connell 2006e, 38), this feature was interpreted as a charcoal production pit. Two hearths (CO035-119----, CO035-120----) were located c. 5.5m and c. 15.5m to the SE, respectively.
