The south western most was 2.3m wide at the surface with a surviving depth of 0.55m and a shallow profile. The north western segment was 2.5-2.7m wide and survived to a depth of 1m below the machine surface. this segment had a narrow flat base and a V-shaped profile the north eastern segment was 1-1.4m wide at the surface with a maximum depth of 0.69m and a steep sided U shaped profile.
