F01861

Entrance passage between banks. Chipples, rubble? Worn surface. In the north half bank insubstantial, consisting of few large stones. But in the south bank consist of large rubble surviving to 30cms in places, and these stones fallen across the entrance. Many are pitched, may be due to root disturbance. Also the possibility of earlier ditches below. Larger worn stones west of entrance seeming to be at a higher level than the worn material being removed between the banks. A hollow way seems likely. Bank terminals seem to form a narrow entrance.

Line of vertical stones: palisade trench.Stones vertically placed rather than tipped at the bottom of bank F01834, apparently in a shallow trough cut into fill of earlier causewayed ditch. Some burning of stones presumably the sides of the trough suggests a palisade rather than vertical revetting. Possible shallow similar to east of F01833 bank? These verticals continued as 1a layer into F01885 as east face.
