Discussion

 A NW/SE aligned ditch in the west of area 12AB. The ditch is the most easterly of several similarly aligned ditches in the vicinity. The west side is cut by one of these ditches (012AB00256). The south terminus is cut by five east/west aligned ditches (012AB00160, 012AB07171, 012AB07194, 012AB07197 and 012AB07198) and two post holes (part of master 012AB07200). The ditch cuts through a curvilinear ditch (012AB01031) and a small east/west aligned slot (012AB00569). No relationship was established with broad east/west ditch 012AB00302.
