Discussion

 A curvilinear enclosure ditch in areas 11AB and 11BC, the eastern of two similarly aligned features (with 011BC00807 to the west). The slots merge to the north but the relationship between the two was not established. Both ditches cut through east/west aligned ditch 011BC01036 and enclosure ditches 011BC07126 and 011BC07127. The NE/SW aligned slot at the north end of the ditches was not excavated or issued with context numbers. Both ditches may have formed the boundary of a small enclosure (less than 115 square metres in area) of a later date than the two to the south (011BC07126 and 011BC07127).
