Summary
The first of these is a pair of small pits which appear to be little more than hopeful surface digging. The south-eastern most of the two is 2m wide and 0.4m deep; the spoil from the hole is deposited by its side.

Description
To the southwest of (20114*48), around the natural slope is a cluster of pits and spoilheaps (20118*49 & 20118*50). The first of these is a pair of small pits which appear to be little more than hopeful surface digging. The south-eastern most of the two is 2m wide and 0.4m deep; the spoil from the hole is deposited by its side. The other pit is half overlain by a spoilheap and is 2.3m wide and 0.6m deep; it has a small amount of spoil around it suggesting it is the remains of a shaft (Lax, A. 1995).
