Enclosure Ditch
Discussion
A large, narrow north/south aligned ditch running parallel with ditch master
002CA00629
and forming the east side of an enclosure ditch, with 002CA00669
and 002CA00342 to the south. The relationship
between the ditches was not established but it is likely that one is a
re-cut. Both ditches are cut by pit 002CA00678.
Unusually, no finds at all were recovered from the excavated segments.
Located just to the south of the northernmost excavated segments, inbetween
the two ditches, was a pottery vessel (002CA00503). Although it was claimed
in the context record that the vessel was not in a feature, it appears
likely that it was derived from one of the two ditches.
