Discussion

A segment of ditch in the south of area 11BD. The ditch was cut bu curvilinear ditches 011BD07102 and 011BD01057 and by north/south aligned ditch 011BD07104. The full extent of the ditch was not apparent during excavation. Four fills were apparent during excavation with the vast majority of finds recovered from the final fill (011BD01079). A middle Saxon dome headed pin was recovered from this fill and other Anglian finds were also present throughout the fills.
