Remarks

Remarks:

Top contained soft limestones (cobble-sized); slightly decayed; Lean measured in Loca 34 & 28 (see sketch), stones in this part seem to be tilted on one edge instead of horizontal; only the E face has been completely uncovered down to foundation level; bottom of W face not reached in U84; under NE-stubbalk the end of Wall 5 was a small part of cornerstones (uncovered in 7K50)
