Short Description:
Cut of outer ring ditch.
Issued to
Henry Callender | 18/02/2020

Interpretation

    • Cut of outer ring. Same ditch as [4776], [4751], [4736]. Very steep sides with a flat base. Perhaps used to put upright wood logs in as a palaside wall. Lots of postholes along the wall may confirm this. Not yet excavated.
