Two poorly preserved human burials that had been damaged by post-medieval ploughing were within the area of Enclosure 7, but they could not be linked through stratigraphy with any other features and the remains were not suitable for radiocarbon dating. Burial 1 was a juvenile of indeterminate sex that had probably been supine and aligned W-E. Burial 2 was an adult of unknown sex and only fragments of the skull and arm bones remained.
