The heads were most likely mounted on pikes to further delineate the boundary markers. SOMETHING had to be done with the rest of the corpses.

The south-western of the three settlements was surrounded by a 1.3 km-long double ditch that likely served as boundary marker rather than serving any defensive purpose. On what basis do they reach this remarkable conclusion?
It is Rousseauian "noble savage" idiocy. "Boundary Marker" my a$$. It was a defensive barrier.
Read "War Before Civilization: The Myth of the Peaceful Savage". It is full of examples of this sort of insanity, and it points it out.

Headhunting was a thing for a long time.
Lots of majik in them there heads. Give good power to them what takes ‘em.
