). The south end of the ditch was cut by a pit (011CD05686).
Two post holes in the base of the ditch were recovered, 011BD01544
and 011CD08044 but no organic material was recovered.
The ditch follows the same alignment as 011CD07112,
011CD07113
and 011CD07114 to the north and is
also likely to be relatively early in date. Decayed daub was present in
three fills (011AD00056,
011BD01507
and 011CD08000) in the south side (see the discussion
in
for further details about spreads of decayed daub in the area).
