Discussion

A small, curvilinear ditch in area 11CE, initially recognised and partly excavated in 1991. The original ditch (011CE00627) was re-cut (011CE00549), see section. The ditch was seen to be later than enclosure ditch 011CE20009 and probably also cuts enclosure ditches 011CE20010 and 011CE20011 although this was not fully established during excavation. The north/east terminus was cut by ditch 011CE00547.
