Discussion

 A probable ditch terminus in the north/east of area 11CD. Although recorded as a pit at the time of excavation, this feature is likely to be the eastward continuation of enclosure ditch 011CD020017. The north side of the feature was cut by pit 011CD05754. A charcoal layer (011CD05757) 26cm thick was present just above the base of the feature. Two post holes were recorded in the base of the ditch but not issued with separate context numbers. No sections were drawn.
