Structure D - A rectangular platform on a raised area to the north of enclosure C, is on a east / west axis.

Structure E - Southmost of 2 rectangular structures recessed into the west end of the knoll. Lies on a NE/SW axis and measures 11m x 3m.

Structure F - Northmost of the two structures mentioned above, this lies immediately adjacent to and on the same alignment as structure E.

Structure G - The low turf footings (0.2m high) of a structure measuring 12m x 4m can be identified lying on a north/south axis.

Structure H - A rectangular building, on a north/south axis and measuring 15m x 4m lies to the north of the knoll.

Structure J - Indistinct footings of this structure, to the south of H, appear well on aerial photographs, but on the ground are barely discernable. It measures 6m x 3.5m.

Structure K - Situated on the edge of the terrace this small rectangular building on a north/south axis measures only 5m x 2.5m.

Structure L - A rectangular structure lying on a north/south axis, internal measurement is 6m x 2.5m.
