Discussion

An east/west aligned ditch in the south/east of area 11BA. The relationship with ditch 011BA00216 was not established and geophysics indicates that this feature continued beyond the ditch for a short while before terminating or turning south. The ditch may break and then continue to the west (see plan, no context numbers issued to the feature) forming a possible entrance. The ditches may have been associated with possible post and trench structure 011BA07132. It is unclear from the context record whether the ditch contained two fills or the same fill was excavated under two context numbers.
