Discussion

This feature is one of a sequence of at least eight enclosure ditches marking the western boundary of the southern part of the settlement. The ditch has a north-south orientation, before turning to an east-west orientation, like enclosure 011AE007138  to the east, with which it merges (the relationship was never established, this is deduced from theAML geophysical data). Although the majority of dateable potsherds were Roman in date, finds of a worked antler handle and part of a bone comb give this feature an Anglian date.
