Discussion

 A large curvilinear enclosure ditch in the north of area 12AB. This appears to be one of the later of a series of enclosure ditches on the same alignment (cutting through ditches 012AB00757, 012AB00770, 012AB00791, 012AB00813, 012AB00924 and 012AB00929). The ditches in this area probably enclosed stock. The ditch also cut through an earlier NW/SE aligned ditch (012AB00776) and through a Bronze Age pit pair (012AC07081). Two small pits (012AB00774 and 012AB00925) cut through the ditch.
