Ring ditch was represented by a poorly preserved shallow circular gully (0.32 m x 0.07 m) c. 5.5 m in diameter internally. Only the south-eastern half survived, with the opposite side of the feature having been removed by a cultivation furrow. The feature contained a single fill of greyish brown silty clay, with only sparse environmental remains and three sherds of pottery.

The ring ditch appeared to be superimposed onto the much more substantial other ring ditch, making it highly unlikely that the two features were co-existent. Excavation indicated that this ring ditch was the later feature, although the relationship was not particularly convincing in light of the shallowness of that feature.

The ring ditch was small and poorly preserved (0.07 m max) in comparison with its apparent predecessor, and was probably a much more rudimentary and perhaps temporary structure. Its form seems more likely to represent an eavesdrip gully; this did not apparently have a south-east facing entrance. The construction of the ring ditch may represent transient reuse of the Site following the main period of occupation, although it is noteworthy the footprints of the two structures overlapped.
