Discussion

 A segment of ditch in the east of area 11AB. The ditch cut through enclosure ditch 011BC07127, slot 011AB00505 and small pit 011AB00529. The limits of this feature were not determined during excavation. Three fills were distinguished, all dark organic sandy loams. Finds of various dates were present throughout the fills with mainly Anglian finds from the primary fill (011AB00516), some of which were probably lifted from pit 011AB00529.
