A network of shallow ditches and gullies, mainly on a north-east to south-west orientation, was observed to the south-west of hedgebank C. A number of these were irregular in plan and section, and were clearly man made, whilst others had a more regular sinuous character that followed the undulating topography, and may be natural in origin. No finds were recovered from any features in this area and all are undated. Other details: Figure 3.
