The 6th excavation campaign saw work continuing in trench VII, situated in a northern section of the enclosure ditch surrounding the Neolithic settlement. The concretionary layers were excavated using pick and pneumatic hammer with narrow points. These concretionary deposits covered the ditch walls and part of the fill. As the deposits were removed, some fragmentary material was recovered that was incorporated within them; charcoal and soil samples were taken for analysis. The complete removal of the concretion revealed the original walls of the ditch and the lower levels of the fill. The latter contained abundant concentrations of materials, in particular pottery and faunal remains.

The width of the ditch varied between 2.20 and 2.50 m and the lower layers were at a depth of 2.30 m below present ground level. These layers will be excavated in coming seasons; the finds will be processed and numbered in order to determine the mode of their deposition.
