A pit was located on the eastern side of the site, in the middle of the cluster of large mid-Roman and late-Roman pits between the ditches of enclosure sequence (MNT28957) . It was initially thought to consist of two small intercutting features, and so was excavated by two offset sections, but seems most likely to have been the truncated remnant of a small kiln or oven with a chamber surviving to approximately 0.60m in diameter and 0.18m deep, and a flat based flue 0.06m deep extending 0.70m to the east. Both elements of the feature contained the same orange-red silty sand fill, from which 13 sherds of non-specific Roman grey ware, one of which was burnt, were retrieved.

Three pits positioned close together within the possible enclosure series (MNT28957), immediately to the west of the northern terminal of the L-shaped ditch, also seem likely to have been small kilns or ovens; all the features produced finds, but none could be dated more accurately than to the Roman period in general. The largest of these was an elongated oval in plan form, measuring 2.18m x 0.78m on an east-south-east to west-north west alignment and 0.37m deep. The greater part of the feature as it survived was the almost flat-based oven chamber: the east-south-east-running flue was either very short or had been truncated from above. No finds were retrieved from the black silty clay deposit at the base of the oven chamber, but the main fill which filled both the flue and much of the chamber, produced a large assemblage of Roman pottery, including 35 sherds from a single grey ware jar, while two further grey ware sherds were retrieved from an overlying fill. The two other pits were both roughly teardrop-shaped in plan and considerably smaller than first elongated oval pit. One of the pits, immediately to its north, was the smallest of the three, 0.86m x 0.46m in plan and 0.16m deep, and had been so heavily truncated that it could only be identified as an oven by analogy with the features to either side, as the flue was represented only by the stepped, shallow rise of the oven chamber base to the north-west. Two fills could still be distinguished, and a single sherd of Roman pottery was retrieved from a fill in the base of the chamber. The other pit, further to the north, was only slightly larger at 1.00m x 0.50m x 0.20m, but its form was much more clearly defined, with a deep, steep-sided, bowl-shaped chamber and a shallow, flat-based flue extending to the north-west. Two fills were also present were, with the upper fill occurring only within the chamber: Roman pottery was retrieved from both.

Three elongated, sub-rectangular pits were sited in the south-western corner of D-shaped enclosure (MNT28953), lying in a slightly curving line that appeared to follow the curve of the enclosure ditch. At the northern end of the line, one of the pits measured 1.90m x 0.75m x 0.25m: its exposed long side was steep, with shallower ends breaking gradually to an almost flat base. Its fill produced two sherds of Roman pottery. A further two sherds were retrieved from the middle pit, which had straight long sides but rounded ends, and measured 2.18m x 0.92m in plan but was only 0.12m deep, with its profile urviving only as a gradual break to an almost flat base. The final pit, closest to the corner of the enclosure, was consistent in size with the others, measuring 2m x 0.77m x 0.22m, again with straight long sides and rounded ends, and steep-sided with a flat base. No dating evidence was retrieved. All three of these features had forms and dimensions commensurate with graves, but produced no bone or identifiable burial accompaniments; all had single sandy silt fills, but with no consistency of colour. They could be speculatively associated with the nearby early Roman pit, dated by a single sherd of possibly Iron Age to Roman hand-made pottery, on stylistic grounds.
