Discussion

 An east/west aligned ditch in the south of area 12AB. This ditch would appear to be a relatively early feature as it was cut by the curvilinear enclosure ditches in the south of the area (012AB07181, 012AB07182 and 012AB07183) as well as later ditch 012AB00427. The ditch may continue as 012AB00666 to the west but a connection between the two was not established. A single flint flake was recovered from the fill, possibly enough to suggest Prehistoric origins for this feature.
