| Description | Ditch composed of segments 115, 160 and 187. |
| Comment | Ditch running north to south. This ditch must be later than the building represented by wall 103 the southern butt end 187 was angular in plan and, unlike almost every ditch in the site, not rounded. The southern end was cut parallel to the building and not at 90° to the ditch. The ditch must have been cut right up to the wall. Loose packing of lower fills at southern butt end (segment 187) is strongly indicative of rapid, deliberate, backfilling |
