Discussion

 A NE/SW aligned ditch in the south of area 11BA, within enclosure 011BA07129. The ditch was excavated in two segments with the north/east segment (011BA00491) cut by larger ditch 011BA00489. The primary fill of the ditch was issued with context 011BA00647 but the context is far more likely to have been issued in error to an over-cut into natural hill wash. The ditch is parallel to similar feature 011BA00580 to the south. Both features are on the same alignment as the south/east side of enclosure 011BA07129 and may be a sub-division of the enclosure.
