A second cemetery (the western cemetery) lay within Zone 19, approximately 150m west of the main cemetery. This small group comprised nine inhumations, all aligned north-south and lying north of a Roman trackway. A further possible grave was situated 40m to the east and may have been an outlier but contained no human remains. All the inhumations were in sub oval graves which were shallow and been truncated by ploughing. Some burials were accompanied by grave goods, most notabley copper alloy rings and a little collar. At least one appears to have been spatially associated with a curving linear ditch 0.2m wide and less than 0.1m deep, which may have been part of an enclosure surrounding the burial, though this is not certain as no dating evidence was produced for this ditch.
