Two ditch-like features had previously been identified on this site (Excavations 1999, No. 732, and 2000, No. 807). Testing suggested that one might be a former watercourse, while the other was of indeterminate function. Monitoring of the stripping of the site in 2004 offered another chance to try and determine the date and function of the features; however, no further evidence was forthcoming.
