Discussion

A curvilinear slot in the east of area 11CD. The slot became visible when the area was trowelled back (spits 011CD05444 and 011CD05577), after stone setting 011CD20000 was lifted. No relationship with ditches 011CD05560 or 011CD05796 were established during excavation. The feature was probably two parallel slots (see section and notes for 011CD05071), excavated as a single feature. One slot terminates before the feature narrows and the width recorded for the southern excavated segment (011CD05611) is probably correct for the remaining slot. A deep post hole in the north end (011CD05798) is probably associated with this feature and could be the result of under-excavation of the terminus or the presence of a large post just beyond the terminus.
