Discussion

 A short section of curvilinear ditch in the north of area 12AB. This could be one of a series of enclosure ditches in the area but the full extent lay beneath the north area baulk. The ditch was cut by a similarly aligned ditch (012AB00795), by an enclosure ditch to the south (012AB00797) and by a pit (012AB00803).
