A large sandstone disc visible on the surface of Unit 1. The removal of the large sandstone disc revealed aligned limestone blocks abutting jar 01020061.

Resting atop these blocks were human long bones and some associated artefacts including a ceramic ear plug (cat. 10), two whetstone fragments (cat.s 11 and 18), ceramic sherds (cat. 20) and an agate bead (cat. 21). This feature was labelled as Burial 2. (the burial numbers are out of sequence stratigraphically due to the sequence of excavation). The human remains including adult teeth were found at c. 1064.14 m asl. Some human teeth adhered to the disc when it was lifted.
