Discussion

 A NW/SE aligned slot in central 11BD/CD. The slot was seen on the ground to cut through the stone setting associated with small curvilinear slot 011CD05804. The Roman enclosure ditch 011CD20017 was also cut by this slot which appeared to terminate at this point. The slot and the ditch were both cut by large, deep pit 011CD05375. The north/west terminus had a small post hole in the base. The post hole was excavated as part of the ditch but is more likely to be associated with a line of north/south aligned post holes (master 011CD07122). The finds would indicate an Anglian date for this feature.
