- A small intervention was made through this deposit in the 2021 season measuring 0.50mx0.45m, revealing that this material is not part of the fill of the pit, as had been theorised, but is actually intense burning resultant from the use of the limekiln that has permeated through the natural (2344) to a depth of approximately 0.18m. Therefore, it appears that the base of the pit at least has been cut into the natural.
