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 ditch is on the same alignment as 011CD07114 to the west and the two may be related. The ditch cut through enclosure ditch 011CD07109 and was cut by ditches 011CD07107 and 011CD07115. It was also cut by small north/south aligned slot 011CD05458 and by pit 011CD05686. The south side cut through the terminus of ditch 011CD05463. Decayed daub was present in one fill (011CD05464) in the west end (see the discussion in Further information on the enclosure ditches in south/east 11CD for further details about spreads of decayed daub in the area), which also contained a large amount of middle Saxon pottery sherds.

Ditch segments 011CD01652, 011CD01653 and 011CD08008 have been included with this Master, as their context points all appear here. It is possible that they relate to one or two re-cuts of this ditch, although this is not clear from the context record. Redeposited natural 011BD01667 also appears here, although it is possible that this was deposited by any one of at least five ditch recuts in the immediate area.
