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

). This ditch would appear to be one of the earliest in the area, under-lying four ditches (011CD07090, 011CD07105, 011CD07107 and 011CD07111), two slots (011CD05576 and 011CD07117), a sheep burial (011BD01658) and a stone setting (011BD01542). The relationship with Grubenhaus 011CD20016 was not established although the ditch is likely to be earlier.
