Discussion

A curvilinear ditch in the south of area 11CE and the north of area 11CD. This ditch is a phase of a large curvilinear enclosure (011CE20012) re-cut on the south side many times, probably as a result of stream action to the east. This would appear to be the earliest phase of the ditch, cut by phases 011CD20007, 011CE20012 and 011CE00691. All the ditches cut through earlier enclosure ditch 011CE07093. This enclosure system is one of the latest in the area and is likely to be Middle Saxon in date.
