It contained flat angular limestone pices and a piece of worked stone but no finds. Ditch F1007 was 63 x 1.55 x 0.36m, also curvilinear in plan and aligned south east north west. It had stepped vertical and horizontal sides and a concave base which tapered to a point to the north east. Its fill contained flat angular limestone but no finds.
