Discussion

 A small segment of NE/SW aligned ditch in the south of area 12AB. The north/east end appears to terminate before ditch 012AB07192 but the full extent of the south/west end was not established as it was cut away by ditch 012AB07187. Two fills were distinguished during excavation; a primary fill of heavily charcoal flecked material (012AB00523) and a secondary fill of sandy loam with a smaller amount of charcoal (012AB00679).
