Discussion

 A short, curvilinear ditch in the south of area 12AB. The ditch cut through four ditches (012AB00282, 012AB07185, 012AB07188 and 012AB07193), a slot (012AB00284 and two pits (012AB00604 and 012AB00620). The ditch contained a moderate amount of object finds and a large amount of identifiable animal bones. The finds indicate a probable Anglian date for this feature.
