 A sub-circular pit in area 11BD, revealed after the removal of the fill of depression 011BD00567. A primary fill of charcoal (011BD01090) was present, approximately 3cm in depth. The main fill (011BD01053) contained charcoal, burnt daub and fired clay. The fill also contained one of the most important finds from the settlement; a worked bone object initially interpreted as a chess piece but probably the bridge from a lyre (011BA01053AF).
