Discussion

 A NW/SE aligned ditch in the west of area 12AB. This is one of several similarly aligned ditches in the vicinity and was cut by ditch 012AB00136 to the east. The ditch was also cut by ditch 012AB00443 and by post hole 012AB00539. The south terminus cut through a small east/west aligned slot (012AB00569) and may have extended further although this was not visible at the time of excavation.
