- The tent ring feature is composed of 26 stones, which are arranged in a circular to oval pattern measuring 3.5 m in diameter. Two black chert flakes were observed just outside the tent ring, about 1.5 m to its southwest. Sample collected from a tent ring testpit on 17 July 2005. Charcoal analysis was performed by Claire Alix November 2005 ("a fragment, small branch (?); difficult to distinguish limit of growth rings, rays are slightly radiating out indicating that it is either a branch fragment or the fragment is close to the pith of the wood").
