The middle Iron Age settlement comprised a sub square enclosure with a well-defined eastern entrance, but with no surviving boundary to the west. A principal roundhouse with two subsidiary roundhouses lay within the enclosure with four further roundhouses around the eastern entrance. A single large pit contained deposits of cattle bone, pottery, a rubbing stone and a worked bone implement, but in general there was a paucity of finds. Three radiocarbon dates place the settlement between 400 and 200 BC, although the simplicity of the site plan suggests that it may have been occupied for only a generation or two within this date range, perhaps most probably during the third century BC.

About the middle of the 2nd century AD a small enclosure and linear boundary ditch was set over the area of the Iron Age enclosure. To the east there was a large rectangular enclosure of the same date, divided into two by a north-south ditch. Within the eastern half there was a small trapezoidal enclosure, and an area to its south of shallow scoops and hollows contained pottery dated to the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD. The enclosures continued beyond the excavated area so the main focus of occupation may have been further to the north. The pottery evidence suggests that this site had been deserted by the end of the 3rd century AD. The small pottery assemblage contained a high proportion of mortaria from the nearby Mancetter-Hartshill production centre.
