The ditch was located centrally in an evaluation trench, aligned east/west, and correlated with a linear anomaly identified on the geophysical survey which continues through to another evaluation trench. The ditch measured 1.45m wide by 0.59m deep with moderate straight sides and a concave base. No finds were recovered from the fill, comprising mixed red brown and grey brown clay silt deriving from the deliberate backfilling of the ditch. The ditch, a former field boundary identifiable on historic mapping, was likely backfilled as part of the process of amalgamating two fields in the modern period.
