Discussion

 A NE/SW aligned ditch in the south of area 12AB. The ditch is parallel to, and is probably a re-cut of, 012AB07188 to the north. Both cut a Grubenhaus (012AB07003) and are cut by a possible trackway of unknown date (012AB00334). This ditch also cut through a second Grubenhaus (012AB07004), five ditches (012AB00666, 012AB00674, 012AB00678, 012AB07185 and 012AB07186) and a pit (012AB00600). The fill of the ditch was heavily daub and charcoal flecked although only segment 012AB00502 produced any finds.
