Discussion

 A NNW/SSE aligned ditch in the south of area 12AA. The ditch is parallel to similar feature 012AA07165 to the west and the two may be contemporary. Both appear to be re-cuts (012AA00085 is the primary cut of this side). Both ditches cut through ditch 012AA07164. This ditch may continue to the north as 012AA00062 and 012AA00060. The relationships with the large curvilinear enclosure ditches to the south were not established. These ditches may form part of enclosures with the ditches to the south or may equally have extended beyond them.
