Discussion

A small section of curvilinear ditch in the 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 ). This ditch would appear to be one of the earliest in the area, under-lying three enclosure ditches (011CD07105, 011CD07107 and 011CD07111) as well as being stratigraphically earlier than a sheep burial (011BD01658) and a stone setting (011BD01542). The relationship with similarly aligned ditch 011CD07114 to the east was not established. A post remained in situ in the base of the ditch, tilting approximately 50 degrees to the south/west. Other post holes were probably present but not recorded separately.
