Hand picks and trowels are being used to level the surface of the trench and define the western edge of the linear formation in more detail. Trowel scraping revealed one medium-sized stone possibly underneath one of the stones on the western border of the formation. However, it could also merely be located at a lower elevation. This makes the formation approximately 1.45m wide at the widest point.

The soil is still the light brown, fairly loose and crumbly soil of Locus 2 . This soil is consistent across the whole of the trench.
