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.
