Just west of the centre and in the lowest part of Zone 12 was a hollow way which was certainly in use during the middle to Late Iron Age and continued in use at least into the early Roman period. It ran across zone 12 on a north south alignment with sequences of flanking ditches on either side, the ditches being approximately 15m apart. The hollow way was between 4 and 5m wide and approximately 0.65m deep with a thin metalled surface that consisted of a layer of flint gravel. The ditches on each side were re cut on several occasions and appeared to form boundaries to the contemporary sequences of enclosures on the west and east sides.
