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 (011BA00493) cut by larger ditch 011BA00489. The ditch is parallel to similar feature 011BA00578 to the north. Both features are on the same alignment as the south/east side of enclosure 011BA07129 and may be a sub-division of the enclosure.
