(S1) explains that she means the ditch that encloses the entire field within which this find was made. Here she only says that its arms are 'as wide as a moat' and implies it is an area of early settlement taken out of the green. The size would certainly be huge for a moat, and a drainage ditch aound a late medieval settlement would seem more probable.
