Discussion

 A short ditch in central 11CD, cut through the centre of Grubenhaus 011CD20016 and cut by middle Saxon ditch 011CD7090. The context record indicates the ditch terminated just before ditch 011CD07113 to the south. Three fills were recorded; a primary stony fill (011CD05660), a decayed daub layer (011CD05658) and a final fill of sandy loam (011CD05370). The decayed daub in the west end of ditch 011CD07090 is almost certainly derived from the cutting of this feature.
