Discussion

 A short length of east/west aligned ditch in the north of area 11CD. The ditch cut through two pits (011CD05324 and 011CD05367), a post hole (011CD05337) and through the south side of enclosure ditch 011CD07103. A charcoal layer (011CD05203) was dumped in the west end of the ditch. A large amount of animal bones were present. The feature is likely to be of Saxon date.
