Discussion

 A NW/SE aligned ditch in areas 12AA and 12AB. The ditch cut through curvilinear ditch 012AA07166 and ditch 012AB01011. It was subsequently cut by ditches 012AB00995, 012AA07164 and also stratigraphically cut by ditch 012AA07165 although no direct relationship was established during excavation. No relationship was established with ditch 012AA07169. This may be the continuation of enclosure ditch 012AA09000 to the east, possibly forming the south side of an enclosure (with ditch 012AB00724 forming the west side?).
