Ten artefacts for domestic use were found in a test pit opened inside the structure, suggesting it was once a habitat. Fragments of decorated fine faïence ware crockery and two metal spoons suggest food was eaten on the site. The remains date the occupation of the site to the 19th and 20th centuries. Nails and iron objects found also suggest this was once a habitat.
