Bench with goat's horn attached to it's western end. The bench was located in direct relation to a bucranium U11963 in wall F.2106, and on top of it a later bench (F2021) was built with larger bulls horns. Clusters of horns were also found above F2021 during excavtion in 2005.

The bench was narrow and slim, however, the exact shape and extent of the bench especially in its W part is difficult to determine. The bench was surrounded by construction material debris that might have been originally from the bench itself as the W part of it was truncated or destroyed. At least 9 horncorns (from which 2 together with the skull) belong to wild sheep males were associated with the bench sticking out on its both sides. The E part of the bench was badly truncated by animal burrows, however its extent in this part is clear. On the N edge of the bench a layer, dark brown and friable, possibly a repair patch or part of later intrusion (the ridge F7315), was found. The plaster U20673 was covering this patch making its relation to the bench unclear.
Directly on top of the bench a ridge/partition wall was constructed while erecting the high platform F2177 in order to create the compartment to contain the infill U20657.
