Discussion

 A NE/SW aligned ditch in the north of area 11BD/CD. This ditch is a probable re-cut of the north side of an enclosure system of which 011CD07099 was the primary cut. The south terminus was cut away by a small pit (011BD01223). The north/eastern extent was not visible but it is likely that the ditch turned east beyond the visible point and was cut away by the south part of the enclosure ditches to the north (see 011CE20012). The ditch was cut by curvilinear ditch 011CD05196, also a probable re-cut of the same system. It was also cut by pit 011CD05175 and small slot 011CD05177. An Early Saxon date is likely for this enclosure system.
