The ditch was located in the west end of an evaluation trench; it measured 0.58m wide and 0.11m deep, with moderately steep sides and a concave base. The ditch contained a single fill consisting of a moderately compact mid orange-brown silty clay with occasional charcoal inclusions. This ditch was observed to cut another ditch in plan and in the trench section. No finds were recovered from the ditch.

The ditch may form part of a later field boundary for the north-west of the site, potentially relating to a period of site-use contemporary with the ridge and furrow system identified in two evaluation trenches, as these features share a similar orientation.
