- This feature was fully excavated in the 2021 season. Due to the very small and shallow nature of the feature, and upon discussion with the project metallurgist, it is now believed that this feature is likely to represent a dumping event or small spread of waste metalworking material rather than in-situ evidence of a metalworking area or smithy.
