Full Description

A right-angled length of ditch, possibly forming the north-western corner of an enclosure or other plot of land, was exposed 10 m to the east of the parallel ditches. This feature was at its most substantial around one of the slots, where it was found to be 1.4 m wide by 0.95 m deep, with a deep ā€˜Uā€™-shaped profile. Two fills were recorded: a basal fill of orangey brown sandy silt loam overlain by a darker, greyer deposit. To the north, the feature was about 1.1 m wide by 0.5 m deep, with a gentler profile.
