Discussion

 A curvilinear ditch in the south of area 11CE and the north of area 11CD. The ditch cut through enclosure ditch 011CE07093 and was cut by ditch 011CD07095. The pit 011CD05564 cut through the primary fill of ditch 011CD07095 and is therefore a later feature than this ditch. Although on the same alignment as the series of  large curvilinear enclosures to the east, this appears to be an earlier feature, possibly Roman in date. The section for 011CD05353 shows this feature cut by the larger enclosure ditch 011CE20012. No finds were recovered from this feature.
