Discussion

This short ditch segment was excavated in three segments (011AB00582 in the south, 011AB00584 in the centre and 011AB00586 in the north). Its position in relation to the southernmost part of enclosure ditch 011AB10003 is significant, forming an entrance into the main enclosure system in its final phase. The ditch apparently cut through the short slot 011AB00578. The ditch is interesting in that most of the pottery recovered from the 3 excavated segments could not be assigned a phase (Total 72 sherds of which 60% were unassigned, 32% Romano-British and the remaining 8% spread over a number of periods).
