A curvilinear ditch in the east of area 11CD. The ditch became visible when the area was trowelled back (spits 011CD05444 and 011CD05577), after stone setting 011CD20000 was lifted. No relationships with ditch 011CD05560, slots 011CD05798, 011CD05800 and 011CD05677 or pit 011CD05642 were established during excavation.
