Discussion

 An east/west aligned ditch in areas 12AA and 12AB. The ditch cut through four ditches (012AA00864, 012AA07168, 012AB00995 and 012AB07173) and an unexcavated pit (012AB01005). It was subsequently cut by a post hole of post hole structure 012AA07076. The east end terminated in the vicinity of similarly aligned ditches 012AA00170 to the north and 012AB07173 to the south. The fill contained charcoal and daub flecking, fragments of slag and animal bone.
