The pottery dated to late 18th - early 19th century. Feature appeared to be capped to seal it as a refused pit. Two smaller pits were observed in Trench 3, the first was circular and represents either a refuse pit or graden features, containing 3 Post-Medieval tiles, 3 sherds of glass, a fragment of corroded iron sheert, animals bones and oyster shells.
