Discussion

 A curvilinear ditch in the north of area 11CD. Gravelly layer 011BD00745 and stone setting  011BD00746 was recorded in the 1991 season before the ditch became visible but has been included in this document as they almost exclusively fall within the confines of the ditch and was probably a final fill, or possibly post packing. No relationship with north/south aligned ditch 011CD05049 was established.
