Narrative

    • A small and relatively shallow sub circular pit containing frequent shell fragments in the centre of TR2W near the western LOE. This pit may have been used to dump waste seafood by-products, or perhaps alternatively could have been used to store shells as part of the lime production process being undertaken at the nearby limekiln.
