Several 'pens' have been constructed against the interior wall surviving as turf and stone banks of a much slighter construction than the main wall. Earlier depictions show more of these but at the time of the 2018 survey much of the interior was obscured by the dense growth of rushes.

Three 'courts' or 'yards' shown on modern mapping on the west and south side of the enclosure.
