Discussion

 A small curvilinear ditch in the south of area 11BA. The relationships with ditches 011BA00588 and 011BA00669 were not established. The relationship with the ditches of large curvilinear enclosure 011BA07130 were also not established and the west end of the ditch was not visible beyond them. Geophysics indicates that the feature did not continue and a contemporary relationship with the large enclosure cannot be ruled out. The north/west end terminates in the centre of the space between the two main enclosures in this area. This space, between the enclosure ditches of 011BA07130 and 011BA07129, contains several short ditches (containing structural evidence) and lines of east/west aligned post holes, possibly blocking, or forming entrances into, the main enclosure.
