Discussion

A north/south aligned ditch in the west of area 2DB, excavated in the previous year under 2DC context numbers. The ditch may have replaced an earlier pit alignment and may form the east side of an enclosure complex (see 002DC00186). Segment 002DC00155 was placed to determine the relationship of the ditch with a small pit or shallow scoop but no relationship was visible. The northern extent of the ditch was not distinguishable and the whole feature was heavily truncated.
