Ditch

Phasing

Discussion

A N/S aligned ditch in trial trench 2R that was cut by pit 002CA00686 to the south. This feature was primarily believed to have contained dog skeleton 002CA00117 but it was later assigned to the butt end of 002CA00686. The 2R cut numbers issued to this feature are 0020R00027 and 0020R00029 (possibly a re-cut), both issued to segments in the north part of the trench. The E/W ditch 002R 00R25 in the north of the trench was found to cut this feature.
