The
second phase
lasted around three
centuries, c.2900 - 2600 BC. Archaeological
excavations have discovered a complicated
series of timber post holes.
The timber post settings were mainly
concentrated in the centre and by the NE
entrance, although some can be found
located near to the southern entrance.
The ditch had been allowed to be partially
filled in, Cremated burials were found in the
ditch as well as the 56 Aubrey holes.
