Discussion

 Two NW/SE aligned ditches in the south/east of area 12AA. No relationship was established between the ditches. Both were cut by large curvilinear ditch 012AA09000 before terminating. The south/west side of the segment across both ditches (012AA00017) was cut by similarly aligned slot 012AA00016. The ditches in this master are two of five similarly aligned features terminating in the immediate vicinity. The majority of datable material recovered from the fills is Roman, with two Anglian finds. Slight charcoal flecking was apparent in the fill of segment 012AA00074.
