Discussion

A short NW/SE aligned ditch in the north/west of area 11BD. Raised hearth structure 011BD00527 lay over this slot. The ditch was very shallow (3cm to 7cm deep) and was over-cut during excavation along almost the entire length. Four animal bones were recovered. The ditch may be associated with ditches 011BD00939 (to the north) and master 011CD07099 (to the east) to form an enclosure. The ditch almost certainly pre-dates the post holes in this area (master 011BD07067).
