Discussion

An east/west aligned ditch in the south of area 11BE/CE. This section of ditch forms the north side of an enclosure with a possible entrance in the centre. The ditch appears to curl southwards at the western limit of excavation and, according to geophysical evidence, north/south aligned 011AE07139 in area 11AE probably form the west side of the same enclosure. This ditch cuts through ditches 11CE20010, 011CE20011, 011CE07094, 011CE00773, 011CE00535 and 011CE00727 and is cut by a number of features; ditches (011CE00547, 011CE00630, 011CE20012, 011CE00643, 011CE00691, 011CE00551,011CE07096, 011CD20007), pits (011CE00778, 011CE00657, 011CE00882 (unexcavated) and 011CE00590 (unexcavated)) and a post hole (011CE00522).
