Discussion

 A NW/SE aligned ditch in the south of area 11BD. This ditch is probably a re-cut of the south side of an enclosure ditch of which 011CD07099 was the primary cut. The ditch was cut by 011BD07101 (probably a further re-cut of the same enclosure) and by slots 011BD00574 and 011BD01087. The ditch was also cut by a Modern field boundary (011AC10007). The north/west end terminated just to the west of pit 011BD00553. The south part of the ditch cut through small slots 011BD00963, 011BD00944 and 11CD05245.
