Three sections were cut across the linear ditch on a northwest to southeast alignment determine its profile and deposition of fills contained within. Towards the northwest edge of the stripped area, a cut displayed moderate sloping edges and a flat base. At the base of the ditch were possible packing stones: pieces of sandstone up to 0.75m x 0.60m x 0.3m. These were covered by till, a compact, light brownish clayey silt. Closer to the centre of the stripped area, another cut displayed steep edges
and a flat base. It was filled with a single fill, a light greenish brown silty clay 0.65m deep. In
the third, south-eastern section through the ditch, an additional cut, it was much shallower with shallow sloping sides and a concave base. It was filled with light yellowish brown clay.

Two Heat-Cracked Stones found from one ditch context: Quartzite type, Cobble shape, Block fracture, Direct heating, Less than 5cm, 200g, Red and yellow discolouration, Rubber/Polished.

3 utilised flakes discovered in the same context as the heat-cracked stones.

Finds appear to be re-deposited.

A later Black-glazed ware sherd from a large mid-18th to mid-20th century bowl was recovered from the ditch
