Dimensions: 0.46m E-W; 0.26m N-S; approx. 0.10m deep 

Description: Cluster of stones - mainly revealed during excavation of 4740, although some of the stones were poking through the top of that context.
Stones range in size from 170mm by 130mm by? down to approx. 30mm by 35mm by?
- however a few probably smaller stones that came out with 4740 ( incl. in flotation sample )

Stone apparently limestone, probably laid to conserve heat at the base of what was presumably a hearth. 

Discussion: x18 & x20 proved to consist of 2 stones each on excavation. ( x24 over x2 ).
