T118: A pronounced earthern mound, about 8.5m diameter as seen on surface, overlain by lazy-bedding. Two small sherds of handmade pottery (apparently of IA type) were recovered from a rabbit burrow. Appears to be a long-buried feature or structure; size and position suggest a tentative identification as a roundhouse of some sort.
