Ditches B, C, E and J dating to the late Iron Age or early Roman period cut across the site; ditch J cuts through roundhouse 2 (MDV129854; presumably dismantled by this time, although House 1 may have been retained). Ditches are broad and shallow (up to 1m wide, 0.35m deep) and have probable entrance gaps at intervals. Small number of finds recovered.
