Discussion

A curvilinear ditch in the south/east of area 11BD/CD. This is one of several similarly aligned ditches in the vicinity (see the stratigraphic matrix and further discussion for the enclosure ditches Further information on the enclosure ditches in south/east 11CD ). The western extent of this ditch was not recorded, probably because the ditch to the west was excavated as a single feature of Roman date (011CD20015, within document 011CD20017) rather than the complex series of ditches that are undoubtedly present. The ditch probably terminated in the viciniy of masters 011CD07110 and 011CD07107 to the south.  The relationship of the ditch with small north/south aligned slot 011CD05458 was not established.
