The location of the small ditch I previously found and called Feature 12.
Its exact location, on What Three Words, is striving.remarking.ember.
I now think it lies on the bank of the north outer ditch, by Feature 6.
It is not directly related to the Causewayed Enclosure, but provides a useful reference point.

Having compared the feature I found to Lidar, I now believe it to be a distinct feature not directly related to the Causewayed Enclosure, but I have identified its exact location on What Three Words, which enables me to conclude that the path I previously said runs between the inner and outer banks, actually runs along the outer ditch of the outer bank.
I am relabelling the relevant pictures accordingly.
A Bronze Age artefact found by an eight-year-old boy during a day out in the Lake District is to go on display.
