a substantial Iron Age ditch was uncovered 640m to the south of the Plateau 8 iron age settlement, running across plateaux 4 and 5. It lay on an east west alignment and can be traced for a distance of 356m. The westernmost 79m lay beyond the excavation area but is clearly visible as a cropmark in the adjacent field. Little datable material was recovered from the fills of the feature but it is likley Iron Age in date. (location accurate to the nearest 1m based on available information)
