Discussion

One of three ditches (with 012AD07223 and 012AD06249 ) with a markedly different (north-south) orientation to the other enclosure ditches (east-west) in the area. All of these ditches appear to be earlier than the enclosure, although the fills from this ditch contained a similar material culture, indicating a late Roman date continuing into the Anglian period. The ditch had a round based V profile in the northern half, becoming almost a U profile in the excavated southern section, and was cut into hillwash.
