Discussion

 A probable entrance structure within large curvilinear enclosure 011BA07130, in area 11BA. The entrance may have been part of a small enclosure approximately 30 square metres in area, butting on to the north side of the the large enclosure, but the two structures may not have been contemporary. A further possible sub-division of the large enclosure (011BA07129) to the south/east also has an entrance into the centre of the large enclosure and all three may be contemporary. Both the curvilinear ditch segments of this entrance had a small, deep slot to the north (011BA00777 on the west side, the east side was not issued with separate context numbers). The west side appeared to terminate in a post hole (part of 011BA00780). The increasing truncation by plough damage to the west may have resulted in any continuation of the west side to have been lost. The east side appears to be turning to the north and may have continued to the north side of enclosure 011BA07130. A Middle Saxon iron pin was recovered from the fill of slot 011BA00777.
