Discussion

 A short north/south aligned ditch in the east of area 12AB. The ditch appears to be relatively early in date, probably Late Roman, and was cut by six ditches (012AA07168, 012AA07172, 012AB07171, 012AB07192, 012AB07194 and 012AB00128). It may be associated with other north/south aligned ditches to the south (012AB00860) and north (012AB00724).
