Full Description

Platform.
Centre of grass-covered, 8m x 6m, stony mound, raised approximately 0.6m above the surrounding grass-covered area. Its upper surface is very irregular and uneven, and much stone is felt underneath the grass, indicating that it forms the construction of the whole structure. It is tucked into the corner formed by the grass-covered linear boundary mounds of Features 041 and 042 (above), and its original purpose is not clear. <1>
