Discussion

 A NE/SW aligned ditch in the south of area 12AB. The ditch cut through ditch 012AB00666 and pit 012AB00537 and was subsequently cut by ditches 012AB07185, 012AB07186, 012AB00427, 0121AB00993 and 012AB00991. The fill contained some charcoal and daub and a single sherd of Roman pottery, possibly part of an amphora.
