Discussion

 A NW/SE aligned ditch in the west of area 12AB. The ditch is one of several similarly aligned ditches in the vicinity and cuts through ditch 012AB07199 on the east side and 012AB00543 on the west. The south terminus is cut by one of the east/west aligned ditches (012AB07197). Two post holes cut through the ditch (one of master 012AB07231 and one of master 012AB07200). The ditch cuts through a small east/west aligned slot (012AB00569). No relationship was established with broad east/west ditch 012AB00302.
