Two crouched burials were located in the far north-eastern part of the site. the first pit was aligned north-west to south-east, 2.25m long, 1.6m wide and about 0.25m deep. Although clearly heavily truncated, it contained the skeleton of an adult, possibly male, aged 40 to 60 years, lightly crouched and lying on his/her right side with the head to the north-west. It produced a radiocarbon date of 1750-1610 cal BC. There were no accompanying grave goods. The backfill of the grave produced five flint flakes (one retouched) and three fragments of knapping debris, along with eight abraded and chronologically undiagnostic potsherds, traces of mammal bone, oyster and mussel shell and charcoal. The second pit lay just 3.4m to the north-east, a small oval cut around 1.45m by 1.15m broad and 0.3m deep. It contained the remains of a skeleton, probably of a male aged between 40 and 55 years, lying on its right side, with its legs tightly flexed, the back straight and the head towards the south-east. There were no accompanying grave goods. The backfill of the grave produced two abraded Beaker sherds, a small quantity of badly preserved animal bone (which included a cattle metacarpal and molar fragment), traces of heat-affected clay, some unidentified pottery, oyster and mussel shell and charcoal.
