Discussion

 The latest of three north/south aligned ditches in area 12AC. The south side of the ditch cut through ditch 012AB07171 which cut through primary cut 012AB00128. Two further ditches on the same alignment (012AC09500 and 012AC9501) lie to the north, probably all phases of the same type of enclosure pattern. This ditch appears to form the division between two enclosures to the east and west; with the north/south ditches in areas 12AA and 12AC (the east and west sides, respectively) and the east/west ditches in the north of 12AB.
