A large ditch, aligned broadly east-west, was found at the northern limits of the site. Unfortunately, its full profile could not be recorded as it extended beyond the limits of the excavation. It was also overlain by a number of later features. A minimum length of 9m was recorded, with a minimum width of 1.40m and depth of 0.70m. Six small sherds of pottery were found in the ditch. Three of the sherds come from shell-tempered jars or bowls (LFS) of general 11th to 12th century date. The other three vessels are jugs in Beverley 1 ware. These jugs are likely to date to between the mid 12th and early/mid 13th centuries.
