Discussion

 A segment of ditch in the south of area 11BA. The full extent of the ditch was not clearly visible during excavation and was seen only as a broad feature above ditches 011BA00578 and 011BA00580. The ditch was seen to continue north/eastwards to the edge of curvilinear enclosure ditch 011BA07129 but the relationship between the two features was not established. The south/west extent was not confirmed during excavation and it is possible that this feature may be the continuation of 011BA00640.
