Post-holes indicate that there is in the early third millennium BC, a wooden structure inside the enclosure must have. Other posts were at the north entrance, a parallel pole positions ran from southern entrance from inside. At least 25 of the Aubrey holes contained the remains of cremation burials, which were built about two centuries after the construction of this building. The holes were then turned into a burial ground. Thirty further cremations are in the ditch and at other points of the plant, mostly in the eastern half. Also unburned pieces of human bones from this period were found in a ditch.
