I agree with Dino that trying to date ditches based on morphology is probably not good sense....even fills can be tricky cos by the nature of ditches, there is no guarantee that the fill being sampled hasn't been washed in from elsewhere rather than being intrinsic to the ditch (if that makes sense).....that said the location of ditches in the wider landscape can be of interest in defining field systems etc....however in very general terms a good ditch location in the bronze age is equally likely to be a good ditch location right through to the medieval period
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
