{1} A linear ditch located 8.4m north of the south end of T10. It spanned the full width of the trench and was orientated east-west. It was 1.6m wide x 0.35m deep. The northern side of the ditch was steeper than that of the south. Its base was flat. No finds.
A sub-oval posthole located 4.7m north of the south end of T10. It was 0.7m long x 0.5m wide x 0.18m deep, with concave sides and a concave base. No finds.
A possible oval posthole was located 3.1m south of the north end of T10. It was 0.3m long x 0.25m wide x 0.16m deep, cut into limestone.The north edge of the cut was steep, but to the south and east there was a gradual slope before dropping vertically down to the flattish base. A square post socket was located in the northern limit of the posthole. No finds.
A possible oval posthole located 6.3m south of the north end of T10. It was 0.4m long x 0.2m wide x 0.12m deep and also cut into limestone. The south edge of the cut was very shallow, sloping into a possible post socket in the northern limit of the posthole. The north edge had steep concave sides with a flattish base. No finds.
A gully was located 2.1m north of the south end of T10. It was 1.3m long x 0.8m wide x 0.3m deep, orientated east-west. The cut had slightly concave sides and a concave base. It may represent a drainage channel feeding into the adjacent spring. No finds.
A curved linear feature was located 1m north of the south end of T10. It was 0.71m long x 0.39m wide x 0.1m deep, aligned broadly north-west to south-east. It had concave sides and a flat base. No finds. Probably a result of root activity. A further large patch of root disturbance was located 1m south of the north end of T10.
A modern ditch or rectangular pit was located 6m north of the south end of T10. It spanned the full width of the trench and was orientated east-west. It was 1.5m wide and over 0.6m deep. The sides were vertical, suggesting that it had been machine-cut. It had been cut down through the subsoil. No finds.
