Full Description

Aligned north-east to south-west with a shallow, irregularly V-shaped profile, measuring up to 1.2m wide and 0.25m deep. This ditch followed the same alignment as ditch to the north (see MNT27646) therefore it is possible, but not certain, that this is a continuation of the same ditch. Filled by a dark brown, compact fine sand. Contained no finds and no probable date can be ascertained. (1)

Environmental bulk sample taken.
