During excavation in advance of new housing in 2004/5, in the south east corner of the excavated area, a number of intersecting linear and other features were uncovered, between the Early Bronze Age Barrows 5 and 6. None of the short lengths of ditch appear to resolve into meaningful patterns and it is difficult to ascribe a purpose beyond the general definition of a boundary. They may have been contemporary with and associated with the late bronze age enclosures which were also discovered at this site, as pottery of a late Bronze age date was uncovered. It may be that they formed part of some sort of structure separating the mortuary feature from the activity to the east, beyond the excavated area, as they appeared to continue in use into the Iron Age.
