Discussion

 A curvilinear ditch in area 12AA. The ditch cut through ditch 012AA00118 (possibly an earlier cut of the same feature) and was cut by Middle Saxon latrine pit 012AA00251. Pit 012AA00342 and a post hole of master 012AA07179 also cut through the ditch. The ditch may continue to the north/west as 012AA00336. The fill contained charcoal, animal bone and a sherd of Roman pottery.
