Ditch. SW end appears to be cut into different material. Possibly geological fill of geological fault. Difficult to determine cut edges. Iron Age posts, some cut wholly into bedrock, but some (on bank side) cut into ditch. F02654 did not appear until ditch layers (2) + (3) were picked out despite vast quantities of pottery in the area. When exposed to the air the sides showed a dark grey/blue against the undisturbed ditch fill. Layered:
(1): brown earth, small stones
(2): brown earth, medium stones
(3): brown earth greyed by fungus, large stones
(4): yellow/grey earth, small stones, grit
(5): tumble large stones and air spaces dark gery.
(6): yellow/brown silt, red-grey limestone. wash below rubble on West slope of bedrock.
