Discussion

 A north/south aligned ditch in central 12AB. The ditch is parallel to similar feature 012AB07185 to the west, an L-shaped enclosure ditch. The south end of this ditch was cut away by ditch 012AB07189 and any continuation was not visible beyond this point. It is likely the ditch continued, probably as ditch 012AB00527, curving from north/south to east/west in a similar way to ditch 012AB07185. The northern extents of both ditches were not visible beyond east/west ditch 012AB07171 and it is possible they never extended further but formed an enclosure with 012AB07171 or 012AB07194. The ditch cut through two features; a ditch (012AB00242) and a partial ring ditch (012AB00559). It was subsequently cut by two ditches (012AB07171 and 012AB07189), a pit (012AB00205) and a post hole of a possible structure (within master 012AB07196).
