Discussion

 A curvilinear enclosure ditch in the north of area 12AB. This is one of the earlier of a series of enclosure ditches on the same alignment, probably enclosing stock. The ditch cut through an earlier phase of the same enclosure system (012AB00929) and was cut by a later phase (012AB00761). The ditch also cut through two further ditches (012AB00793 and 012AB00795).
