After nearly four years on the run, Phillips died the early hours of September the 8th during a police shootout.
Authorities have now uncovered two large, semi-permanent, heavily concealed structures in the bush around the King Country township of Marokopa.
Newstalk ZB Reporter Jordan Dunn says this is on-top of makeshift campsites found after Phillips' death.
He says Police believe Phillips was regularly moving between campsites - making it much harder to find him.
