Discussion

 A curvilinear ditch in area 12AA. The ditch cut through ditch 012AA00252 (possibly an earlier cut of the same feature) and was cut by Middle Saxon latrine pit 012AA00251. No relationships were established with ditch 012AA07168 or slot 012AA00104. The fill contained charcoal, animal bone and an undated pottery sherd.
